Fiendishly fossil and some other stuff

I have come to the point where I just do not get it. Actually I have been that way for years, but at some point it just gets into your head and bounces around like the ping pong balls in the old Keno machines.

There is an obsession that borders on manic or possessed when it comes to some people and fossil fuel. There is actually no reason for people not to get over fossil fuels.
First of all and I have said this before it will take us decades to get off fossil fuels even if we decided to completely eradicate them right now. So the jobs issue isn’t really a problem. One generation continues to have their jobs and the new generations get jobs in the new energy industries. Change will happen.

The same billionaires can continue to be billionaires in the new energy companies. So there is actually no rational reason to continue with fossil fuels. And every argument these people have can be addressed and I just did in a very basic way.

What gives? There is no reason on planet Earth to continue to press fossil fuels as the world’s energy sources. And if you are an “American” it hasn’t done us a damn bit of good to continue to force this down our throats. Yeah there has been some money made recently, but overall the future is not fossil fuels. (there is a bad pun in there somewhere).

Throughout world history power changes when a group, country etc develops the next source of energy. England conquered the world with wind power via sailing ships; we conquered the continent with railroads (remember steam engines) and now with cars and each time a new group of people develops a new technology or industry they thrive and the old withered away. Or people keep developing new technology that needs energy sources, ie ships, to rail, to airplanes and cars. Okay railroads still play an important role, but the new development seems to be in electric rail, not fuel and cars are ever so slightly changing to electric. Mr. Monk will probably be considered a pioneer in fifty years just the same as Henry Ford was in the 20th century. We just need to realize how we power our world evolves and this change is good.

Change, change, change, but there is such a fight against it. And why? If change is good then what happens when you do not change? Well stagnation, loss of economy, loss of power, others come in and replace you on the world stage, everything the people who want fossil fuels say will happen if we do not keep fossil fuels. History says different and why these people do not realize that the natural course of events is working against them; I do not know.

It is fiendishly insane and maddeningly scary. You would have to be addicted, possessed, or a manic depressive to be this obsessed to keep something when everything around says this isn’t good for you or is not working for you or not your future. It is time to make the change and reap the benefits.



Okay what is the difference between these next two statements:

Where do you live?

Where do you stay?

There is something there and it means much. If we can understand the differences it gives us an idea to understand some other differences that affect us today in our country. Think about it for awhile. There is the basic difference, then the underlying differences.


In any sport, but especially in the NFL it isn’t a good idea to break your star player/ starting quarterback’s jaw. Wonder how long it is before Jerry Jones thinks about bringing in a certain linebacker since being dropped by the Jets. Hahahahahaha The good news is he has settled down over the last few years, but a few years ago this wouldn’t have been a joke. Rational Cowboy fans would have had to sweat this one out.

The Cavaliers should take a lesson from the Mavericks and find a way to keep Mr. Thompson. I know they would have salary cap expenses out the whatever, but look at what happened to the Mavs by not keeping their team together and transitioning over time. He is a young talent worth keeping. Whether LeBron stays or not you still need many good players to stay competitive over the long haul.
