Discussion: Global Warming and Other Environmental Issues

[Corinthian™]

Uhm... a family of five can use solar energy to power their house and send energy -back- to the power plant

some people can gain money by practically selling electricity

Undevelopped technology my ass

Obviously the United States would have to get involved. But it can't be the only one. And other nations like Russia can't profit off of it.

Well, everyone would profit off of it. It's not the time to be petty.

the good stuff thats low maintenance produces five times as much as electricity as the average house makes on only five hours good sunlight. It's about two hundred thousand dollars. I think you'd make your money back in about ten years.

If you're willing to use almost no power yourself, live in extremely sunny climes, and cover your whole roof with panels, sure.

However, if you live in a northern, or cloudy clime, live normally, and are unable to cover your whole roof with panels, it's still at a relative immature technology.

Much longer than ten years. At $200, 000 mortgaged, it'd take at least 30 years and the amount that you'll have paid out would be more than many neighbourhoods pay for power.

Ohio family with a house full of computers, TVs, fridges, a/c and other normal stuff you see in the average house of US-urbania

You could have wall to wall tv's or computers, fridges, dishwashers, whatever. However, until it is known how much wattage the person uses, such information is absolutely useless.

Let me be clear here, I do support solar power. I'd love it if every single house could be covered, but it's still a relatively expensive and immature technology.

Youre telling me this when its 95 degrees outside..

I don't think you understand. The heat will lead to ice caps melting and flooding the earth and then when winter happense the water will freeze.

I'm prepared for the "ice age". I own a Hummer, and they go great in the snow.

They have awesome vertical climb. I saw Batman drive his up a building.

I wonder if the enviornmentalist will protest me during the ice age? I bet they will be asking for rides and stuff.

That's when I will say "you should have been more prepared" and then drive off into the snow slinging cold stinging snow into their faces.

 

[Imagination_13]

I'm not heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere.
This isn't haaaaaaaaaapppening.

 

[Joker]

Who cares...humanity sucks anyway, and I'll already be dead by the time the freeze happens...I say bring on the slowly rising heat, cause I hate the god damn winter

I'm sorry for all... the dinasaurs run the earth

Good to see you didn't take that whole "Good Samaritan" thing too literally, Jesus' Giant Sized Man-Thing.

Christ, Cori, don't get sentimental.

Drag him out the window
Dragging out your dead
Singing I miss you
Snakes and ladders flip the lid
Out pops the cracker
Smacks you in the head, knives you in the neck kicks you in the teeth
Steel toe caps takes all your credit cards get up get the gunge

Get the eggs
get the flan in the face, the flan in the face, the flan in the face
Dance you ****er, dance you ****er Don't you dare
Don't you dare
Don't you flan in the face
Take it with the love its given take it with a pinch of salt take it to the taxman

Let me back, let me back
I promise to be good
Don't look in the mirror at the face you don't recognise
help me call the doctor put me inside
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside

I keep the wolf from the door but he calls me up
Calls me on the phone
Tells me all the ways that he's gonna mess me up
Steal all my children if I don't pay the ransom
And I'll never see them again if I squeal to the cops

Walking like a giant cranes
And with my X-ray eyes I strip you naked in a tight little world and are you on the list?
Stepford wives who are we to complain.
Investments and dealers
Investments and dealers
Coldwives and mistresses
cold wives and

Sunday papers city boys in first class don't know we're born
just know someone else is gonna come and clean it up
born and raised for the job someone always does
I wish you'd get up go over get up go over turn this tape off

I keep the wolf from the door but he calls me up
Calls me on the phone tells me all the way's that he's gonna mess me up
Steal all my children if I don't pay the ransom
And I'll never see them again if I squeal to the cops.
