Talking About Global Climate Change

November 1, 2009 by ItheConsumer.

Watching the Glen Beck Show Friday night I was impressed when the host asked the political question; do you save the Earth and Destroy Our Childrens Future? However, someone needs to tell him that the Proper Political Question should be phrased something like “How do we Save the Earth so Our Children have a Future?” For if you destroy the earth in an attempt to save your children future. Where are they going to live?

Now, I am not the first American to think this way or even to express a political opinion about it; however, I have to wonder if Glen and Others think that Commerce and Industry should be allowed to uncontrollable pollute their environment. Especially since I know that most of them are old enough to remember the Love Channel or have read about it. Nevertheless, having grown up knowing nothing, but how to pay for Fossil Fuel to heat their homes and run their cars I could see how the same fear that affected our ancestors at the turn of the last century could have many of My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s wondering about a Future without the Burning of Carbon.

For just as Electricity was found to scare the Masses at the end of the 1900’s, building a National Renewable Electric Power Grid worthy of the 22^nd Century is most likely left up to the Wisdom of Grandpa and Grandma. For just like the idea that: if I gave you an extra $100.00 a week to buy health insurance would you spend it on purchasing healthcare. Americas’ Democratic and Republican Elected Officials have no such Luxury. Why, I’m not sure, but Some Things just seem to work better if the Elders and Powers-that-Be keep a tight hold on such Rights and Responsibilities.

Nevertheless, knowing that the economy will not grow properly until “We the People” switch from Fossil Fuel to Renewable Energy I do believe that Glen and others would be surprised if they would do the math on what a nickel tax on a Renewable Kilowatt of Electricity sold would do to paying down the Debt of the United States of America. For why you may be truly against the Establishment Your Community Elders and Peers want to build. Take it from someone who has been there and done that the Price of Revolution does not come from the tip of a sword or a harsh word.

Especially now that with Generational Change the Children of the 70’s and 21^st Century can ask Their Democratic and Republican Leaders to have Commerce and Industry build the things we need to lay the foundation for a 3 Giga Watt Renewable Energy Smart National Power Grid and leave all the talk about producing excess carbon to those who really believe that the burning of a fossil fuel is an Intelligent Use of such Natural Resource.
