…wait until you meet the horrors of natural gas! Which filthy stuff must be stopped, lest the planet perish, and Americans ignorantly continue neglecting their responsibility to devolve back into creatures far more friendly to an organic habitat. Something pre-fire and pre-tool, preferably, to remake that time when the earth was at its most serene. Unless you happened not to be the apex predator, that is. But then, what makes you think you’re so special, dinner?
Honestly: I have half a mind to allow the environmentalists their way so that they can set up a society run by millions of hamsters on giant, biodegradable, earth-friendly hemp hamster wheels — if only because I know that such a system would lead to internecine fighting between the environmental militants and the animal rights militants, with bombs, glitter, and red paint would be involved. And that’d be amusing to watch.
— Until the two groups realized how to reach a compromise, and “climate change deniers” were required to replace the hamsters on the Great Wheels of Good under penalty of death.

T. Boone Pickens hardest hit.
Whewels? Wheels strike me as inauthentic and an affront to Gaia.

Actually, after a week in Vegas, four high school graduation parties and a Memorial Day beer and brat fundraiser, the natural gas around here is fucking EPIC. I even caught the dog reading ClimateProgress.org
I’m so damn proud.
I guess the sooner they succeed in sending us all back to the stone age, the sooner we can start ignoring these worthless assholes.
According to environmentalists human beings are just a convenient way for the planet to store some water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen for a while. Y’know, store it on the planet. Where it was before we stored it.
I think before anyone takes environmentalists seriously, they need to quit using electricity themselves. None, nada, zip. Practice what they preach. Lead by example.
SHOW me the vision Seirra Club, build your own new dream community at one with ‘nature’ (as if natural gas wasn’t ‘nature’). Try selling instead of forcing. Who knows, maybe I’ll join you…

As if. Even once the kinks were ironed out they’d still find a reason to kill it.
This isn’t about ‘saving’ the environment, and never has been.
In any society, of any industrial level, energy is wealth and wealth is freedom. Slavery is nothing more than harnessing the energy of an individual in service to another. Abundant energy is cheap energy and cheap energy is the ultimate form of individual empowerment.
They. Do. Not. Want. This.
They want you permanently indentured, if not outright slaves (for what is a massive, nigh on unserviceable, yet also non-dischargeable student loan in exchange for entry into the ‘middle class’ if not a form of lifelong indentured servitude,) and they see themselves as your masters.
We’ve put the future of industrial civilization into the hands of people who mostly couldn’t be bothered to take a college-level math course.
Great. Just fucking great.
…Slavery is nothing more than harnessing thetotal energy…
This reminds me that I need to pull out my Boundary Waters gear and make sure everything’s in good order…
Dr.Sanity has a good post I think fits the mood. It’s kinda long, but she really pulls it together. A taste:

A retro, de-industrialized world lit and heated like it was before, without fossil fuels?
That’s gonna give Whale Wars’ ratings a balls-kick.
on the Great Wheels of Good under penalty of death.
Its inspiration, the Wheel of Pain, was deemed insufficiently euphemistic and likely suffering a case of the Mondays.

Nothing points up the inherent misogyny of the Left quite like the longing for a world far more reliant on human muscle power. It’s no coincidence that women’s opportunities have correlated with the rise of high-energy societies. Turning back the clock will screw the ladies quite comprehensively.
It certainly will. Subsistance living is something we all strive to get away from. There aren’t even any hippy communes anymore. It’s just too much work. Heck, the Amish even use propane powered refrigerators and cell phones.
I’d like to see a week of these pampered bitches (of both sexes) getting up before sunrise to build a fire and feed the chickens and hogs and milk the cows. Then, get their asses back to the house/tent/lean-to to rustle up some grub(s) before they get down to washing their clothes in the creek and hanging them on the bushes while trying to keep an eye on toddlers and making sure that fire didn’t go out.
How’s anyone supposed to watch it?
this picture tells you all you need to know about why the National Soros Radio media hates natural gas
simple as that
why the National Soros Radio media hates natural gas
put off shore reserves effin’ country is energy self sufficient
I am more than ready for the hippies to devolve – like into worm chow.
Where have all the hippies gone? Portland? Ashland? They seem to be in the Pacific Northwest. Far from where I have to see or hear them.
