where does tree-saving PLASTIC come from? Does the stork bring it? it's made from a fraction of crude oil.
How about aluminum?
Mysterious like when you were 6, and asking where babies came from. Most people have no idea how aluminum comes into being. Maybe from beer cans or stooping to pick up chunks of it laying around somewhere? Aluminum is made from a blue powder called Bauxite and a TON of electrical power and nothing else but electricity can be used to make it. A stupendous amount of it.
It'll all work out. Like water supply for Capetown or Mumbai?
"Something will come along and the quality of life will continue to rise?".
Rationale like this is the property of ten-year-olds who think at night while they sleep the refrigerator magically fills back up.
I do not trust the government to do anything except to make my life more complicated ane miserable. just wait until they get their mitts on the functioning of the electrical grids.
Weren't around were you when the government decided to utterly deregulate California's electrical rates. Ten thousand dollars per mWh?
The fancy plastic of today's RV's will price the product out of reach. Plastic comes from petroleum -- do I really need to explain more?
There is zero public discussion about the means and viability of how all these green dreams are going to be fulfilled. PG&E was too stupid to understand why 33KV power lines only 10 feet from tinderbox tree limbs is insane and now you expect them to do WHAT? For free?
Explain your rationale about an atmosphere with FOUR TIMES the level o CO2 and orchids growing in northern Canada suddenly reverted to low CO2
A genuine danger is a shift in global wind patterns that allow tropical Africa and the Amazon rain forest to die off and ONCE AGAIN produce more CO2 than man has done since Lucy was doing the hokey pokey on the sarengeti.
