It's still just as real as ever and honestly, why wouldn't we aim for safe renewable energy? Even if you doubt that it's real, you cannot deny the guaranteed pollution of water sources. If we don't stop polluting our already chemical latent water sources, cancer will become more and more common and not to mention the neurological damage caused by some chemicals.

Also, post some things that can be changed today that would help reduce emissions and post some technologies or future strategies we could use.

I know you're joking but yes. Oil companies are gouging people for profits.

Because where some less than stellar people doubt the first they can't as readily deny the second.

Yes because the issues all stem from the exact same thing. They will come as a group. If we keep polluting, cancer rates will increase along with the increasing temperature of the Earth.

We already do use catalytic converters in vehicles to reduce the toxicity of car emissions, and newer kinds of more environmentally friendly conventional fuels are and have been developed.

We're looking at many different ways of producing food, such as urban farming, hydroponics, aeroponics and GM methods are possibly a way.

With water we've looked at utilising more 'grey'/waste water to meet our needs (except for drinking).

Here's an example of a few methods in practice.

Yes, I know that technology is helping greatly but as of now we're still increasing the global trend of pollution, except the EU, they've reduced pollution. I'm not saying it's only getting worse but natural gas companies are currently lobbying for fracking permits and public support. That alone is a huge threat to the health of many people.

The Universe demands to be noticed, to be seen, and dutifully noted.

What use all those incredible firework dimensions if no eye fixes and reflects, no brain takes notes, no heart moves with passion at the display?

NASA answers the silent cry of the Cosmos for recognition.

NASA is the witness and we fellow witnesses to the endless deeps.

The United States has HUGE reserves of shale/gas that can only be obtained through fracking - seeing as how the nation desperately needs the money - don't expect any renewable sources of energy to be on the market anytime soon - corporate pressure and government reluctance will see to that.

The technology is there - but the integration of renewable energy sources into households is going to be a near-impossible task - given the reluctance for investment and the influence of the fossil fuel barons.

I for one welcome the age of nuclear powered cars and phones, but some people think that it's "too dangerous" ever since TMI and Chernobyl. I laugh at their ignorance.

Remember those times when we all had something better to be doing, but didn't do it? Those were good times. Gooood times

Even if it's real, I live over 150ft above sea level, so for a good long while I should be fine if sea level rises.

That means you'll be the first to fry the day our ozone turns into the nozone.

If you don't dislike some corporations than you don't know about them. If you're pro-oil than you are seriously troubled.

Pre your edit, I was going to agree with you and say that the teenage rage was from people replying to your topic.

Post your edit, you have no understanding of the oil industry, how it derives its profits, and how important it is to the American economy.

You just need to adjust your message for 'Murrica.

"I would like to have American Produced Wind/Solar/Geothermal/tidal etc... power. I no longer want to support terrorism and terrorist countries. Thank the troops by making our energy here, and not there"

See, no hint of a Liberal message there. Hyper-patriotic, needlessly thanks the troops, and is vaguely racist.
