   here’s an “earth day” suggestion: a couple of silicon valley types build a desalinization plant on the coast of ca and a nuke plant to power it in nv:
   without fed regulation .

   Pat Condell has a new vid on the upcoming British elections.

   Much of what he says will sound quite familiar, only more Britishy.

   It would be funny if we discovered that the cycle of organic matter to oil was quicker than we thought and was not “non-renewable”.

   I always thought that n Mexico could wise up a build a few Nuke power plants near the boarder and desalinate water and sell energy and water to the US/CA.

   If they can do this and this, we can damn well manufacture “fossil” fuels.

    Sez you right.

    The only thing stopping that from happening is the Left and those Quislings on the Right who slavishly buy into the former’s perverse Narratives.

    Cool, yes.

    I was thinking it would be neat if the Earth itself could be re-supplied with the raw materials and be our factory. Of course it does it on its own but, I mean we could nudge it along to quicken the process.

    You’re right. Like nuclear, the environmentalist would stop it. They don’t like any tech that is actually reliable (see hydro-electric).

    Unreliable = lots of crises to put to use. Q.E.D.

    >Thus what will later be referred to as “citizens’ i
    nitiatives,” “dissident movements,” or
    even “oppositions,” emerge, like the proverbial one
    tenth of the iceberg visible above the
    water, from that area, from the independent life of
    society. In other words, just as the
    independent life of society develops out of living
    within the truth in the widest sense of
    the word, as the distinct, articulated expression o
    f that life, so “dissent” gradually
    emerges from the independent life of society. Yet t
    here is a marked difference: if the
    independent life of society, externally at least, c
    an be understood as a higher form of
    living within the truth, it is far less certain tha
    t “dissident” movements are necessarily a
    higher form of the independent life of society. The
    y are simply one manifestation of it
    and, though they may be the most visible and, at fi
    rst glance, the most political (and most
    clearly articulated) expression of it, they are far
    from necessarily being the most mature
    or even the most important, not only in the general
    social sense but even in terms of
    direct political influence. After all, “dissent” ha
    s been artificially removed from its place
    of birth by having been given a special name.<
