The trendiness of going green.

[Riot]

 I'm going Blue, my grass is blue, house is blue, me is blue...

I've always been green.

I don't want to go green.

It's pretty well explained in Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, albeit being a little one sided. But the main point is, we have all the alternatives available, it's just that we are still under the grip of foreign oil that the companies don't care for us to become dependent from. As long as we guzzle gas, they keep their profits. But what they don't seem to realize is that they could gain more of a profit and monopolization from being the first to switch to alternatives. Or they do realize it, they just want to milk the cash cow for as long as possible. It's one of the reasons the US hasn't signed on the Kyoto accords.

The fact is that American industry needs to be forced into caring about the environment. Global warming is a fact. A verified fact with an overwhelming majority consensus among scientists who know about the subject.

Climategate and other such scandals are purposely propagated by large business so that they need not worry about more regulations. Cap and trade is a very feeble start, but it's a start.

Once this happens, going green with become more than a trend. It will become an urgent necessity that every American understands.

It's kind of interesting how the lecturer at something I went to at MIT on climatology said that the Copenhagen talks would be a failure a month before they happened.

Everything she said came true.

My computer is environmentally friendly even though its overclocked :D
GIGABYTE EP43-DS3L motherboard has some energy saving stuff in it.
CPU automatically clocks down (normally AND with energy saving stuff from motherboard)
Power supply only gives out enough power when it needs to (Antec EarthWatts 650w) and is extremely efficient.

no
There are starfishs who dont believe and that really prevents it from going green

Yup, Winston Churchill even said we live in an era of procrastination or denial. Soon enough we will be living in the era of consequence. But I did see this awesome vehicle on Modern Marvels: Environmental Tech II that was run solely on air and a hybridized version was able to travel 600 miles at freeway speeds for the low low low cost of two dollars. The price for one of these awesome bad boys, 7000-35000. Super affordable and they come with their own air generators to place at your house for convenient recharging. And gas station recharging, just use the free air nozzle normally used to fill tires.

Now that is Science I can love.

Man, for a 15 year old, you sure do take your leftist dogma seriously, don't you?  I didn't know that high-schoolers were THAT receptive to indoctrination.
