    My prediction: the government will force it onto all its citizens, and take away their freedom to choose

    The government often makes bad decissions, that is why markets are important.

    Green tech IS expensive, but if you were to add up all the costs of filling up your tank (depletion allowances, maintaining a seven ocean navy to make sure the oil gets here in the first place, oil spill clean-ups, etc.), you'd see that green technology is competitive. The old tech is a heavily subsidized business.

    Volt batteries caught fire during testing showing this could be a real problem Nice try but the volt is a piece of crap people do not want

    Nice spin when I am talking about the industrial wind turbines

    You mean this Tesla?

    Tesla responds:

    Naysayers are at it again. Typical naysayer tactic: find a problem and claim the technology is no good. Naysayers would still be riding horses because automobiles got stuck in the mud.

    The current 'green' energies, the very inefficient wind turbines and solar panels are promoted by a system that has based it's power on oil/coal/uranium (fossil fuels that are not available everywhere, so they have control over these very inefficient energy sources, need to be drilled for and refined and distributed)
    This system does never talk about for example about blue energy, geothermical and tidal, because that are the real green energies and available everywhere (only geothermical needs drilling, the other two not, and are efficient and zero emission)
    You will not hear anything in the total media (msm and 'new'), you can only find information on the internet (the media is completely controlled and financed by the system) People today are completely locked out from information the system does not want them to know, this is also why many people do not believe in green energy, because they have only heard about wind turbines and solar panels, they never talk about the other big sources available. The technology is not the problem, because if you look at communication technology you see lots of progress (because the system needs a population that is communicating in mass via their communication systems, the cellphones, tablets) People have no idea what is out there, they are dumbed down because of the media they keep using (most people have internet, but again use the system's websites which never will discuss what is discussed on forums like this one)

    Another problem is what energy should be used and where.

    I mean really...will my future auto run on natural gas, electricity, ethanol, oil, propane?

    And if it runs on electricity...how will it be generated ..coal, natural gas, wind, solar, hydroelectric?

    The hardest thing will be getting on the same page.

    Heck...I thought ethanol was a bust (in the U.S.) till I planted that sweet sorghum.

    Ethanol is a bust. It is causing us all to pay more for many foods

    Not with sorghum. It can be grown on land that will not grow corn, it is drought resistant, it takes less fertilizer, the bagass can be used to fuel the ethenol plant(or animal feed), and the energy conversion is 8 to 1 compared to corn at 1.25 to one.

    And in many areas you can get two crops of sorghum a year. it is comparable to sugar cane.

    And sorghum is not used for food in the U.S....except a little sorghum syrup.

    It will not disrupt the food supply.

    Ethanol can be made from fodder beets or cattails or switchblade grass. Some sources can be grown in areas other crops would not grow in

    Problem is it is not a political issue that can be used for votes. It is not about the environment or food it is about political leverage
