When the lights and heat go out

Many Americans think environmentalism is about humans, and efforts to attenuate our effect on our environment. A very small subset has a more decided agenda which is anti-human and anti-development. Their method uses all legal means to stop “any”, and again, I suggest the word “any” effort, to keep our lights on and our heat on during the winter period. And some of them even have political power in some parts of our Country.

The retribution will be terrible when lights and heat fail at homes or businesses. When most Americans find out it is on purpose and not by accident or mismanagement, heads will roll. When Americans find out it will take years to build more infrastructure to ensure light and heat to catch up, even more heads will roll, to include politicians. That is the course we are on. Even the league of lawyers mining our energy bills and tax dollars may back off, some. After all, they will go dark and cold, also. Or some of them may?

That the world has too many humans is probably correct. And as we improve the quality of life of these humans, so will increase the demands on energy, and the environment. What is of a good debate is how to address the problem. Those who advocate going without lights and heat are on a losing political theme and course of action. Those who deny cooling as a method are dancing around the theme. Those who sell wind and solar power are too shifty when they don’t tell us what happens when nature denies us, or the environmental impacts of same. Without backup “traditional” sources of electricity, for example, the lights and heat will go off. Even so called “hybrid” cars can be a net loss to our world environment. There is no free lunch with a world of so many humans.

So this doom and gloom forecast has come down to:
Fighting the environmental activists
Promoting discussion, education, and votes
Keeping the lights and heat on
