4. My thought as well.
The key is learning to use less Power in our lives. In the 30's, when rural electrification was a national priority, folks were happy with a couple of lights and a Radio.

For what can the "job creators" charge us an arm and a leg to get all those profits necessary to make their job creation superpowers work?

5. Yup, we CANNOT have people making their own electricity!
That would ruin the fossil fuel industry.

That would make rich oil people not so rich anymore!

6. 40% or more of the planet's energy.....
...could be obtained -- right now -- from the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5rF_1eBK9s">ocean's wave movement alone (did you hear that Fukushima?).

When we add wind, geothermal and solar power sources to the equation, they all spell Big Energy's and the Commodities Market manipulators DOOM. Which is why they've bought-up "our" politicians as well as the government bureaucracy and generally the entire political system (then pass the expense onto to us in higher prices -- Win-Win!!!). All of which is designed to extend the amount of time remaining on the clock so they can squeeze the last drops of wealth from us before we're tossed aside like a useless husk. Think of it as a form of "financial human resources re-cycling."

- Which is what I believe is underway as we speak. We're being plowed under........

The reality is that institutional establishments, institutions of codified thought, and institutions of societal influence and power, meaning philosophies, dogmas on one hand and corporations and governments on the other, each have a high propensity to engage in denial, dishonesty, and corruption to maintain self-preservation and self-perpetuation. The result is a continuous culture lag where social progress by way of incorporating new socially-helpful scientific advancements is constantly inhibited. It is like walking through a brick wall as the established power orthodoxies continue to perpetuate themselves for their own interests and comforts.

The profit mechanism creates established orders which constitute the survival and wealth for a few groups of people. The fact is that no matter how socially beneficial new advents may be, they will be viewed in hostility if they threaten an established financially-driven institution. Meaning social progress can be a threat to the establishment. So to put this into a sentence: "Abundance, sustainability and efficiency are the enemies of profit."

Progressive advancement in science and technology which can solve problems of inefficiency and scarcity once and for all, are in effect making the prior establishment's servicing of those issues obsolete. Therefore in a monetary system corporations aren't just in competition with each other, they're in competition with progress itself. That is why social-change is so difficult within a monetary system. In other words, the established monetary system refuses to allow free-flowing change.

We have to understand that government as we know it today, is not in place for the well being of the public, but rather for the perpetuation of their establishment and their power. Just like every other institution within a monetary system. Government is a monetary invention for the sake of economic and social control and its methods are based upon self-preservation, first and foremost. All a government can really do is to create laws to compensate for an inherent lack of integrity within the social order.

In society today the public is essentially kept distracted and uninformed. This is the way that governments maintain control. If you review history, power is maintained through ignorance. ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPmHaTirnCc">Peter Joseph

8. But that is totally unrealistic and stufff...
... the only viable and sensible ways of energy production are those which offer very high barriers of entry, thus limiting the energy providers to be very few, highly concentrated, and powerful entities.


Also tidal and geothermal generation are too clean, renewable, and posses no risk if they are to malfunction. And as we all know, "if it does not fuck up big time, it is not practical..."

9. Right on. We can't get rid of the danger. Fear feeds the oligarchy.
Without centralization of power generation, how will the oligarchs be able to keep everyone dependant on them for the necessities of life. Who knows what will happen next.
Those local food nuts might break our dependance on Cargill, ADM and Monsanto. With localization and urban ag,food security, (like what they developed in Cuba after the fall of the wall)people might start to reclaim their dependance on the massa.
Those localization nuts are trying to destroy the very fabric of America as we know it, an America based on rule by the rich and the progressive surfdom of the masses who live in fear.
Fight this cancer of local control and self sufficicney with every fiber of your being. Your uber rich are counting on us.
