How Do we Save the Planet?
We have energy issues, the 8 billion of us on the planet in 2023.
For instance, this past weekend quite a few people were protesting to not burn fossil fuels anymore. Yeah, right. Like we can do that with our present economic situations, both personal and collective.
Hybrid cars and electric vehicles are not where they need to be in price, accommodating people and their needs. It is not economically feasible to go very green right now, especially based on cars and trucks. And planes and boats. Perhaps fueling our facilities, but no...
People can protest a lot, like the people who were eco-protestors who made a stink at the recent U.S. Open tennis tourney in Flushing Meadows, New York. One guy glued his feet to the floor, and delayed a major match for about an hour.
Others flay paints and oils on master works of art in museums.
But we are not very ready to rid ourselves of fossil fuels. Gas, oil, even coal. We need to burn them for a lot longer. While we figure out how to eat and educate and medically insure each other.
