Tw has a systemic problem I perpetually bash him on: he thinks things would be perfectly all right if we could just leave dictatorships, and unfriendly dictatorships that control our friends' main energy sources, alone and unmolested.

Having resources, particularly vital ones, hostage to the unfriendlies, is -- well, how would you describe it? Parlous? Alarming? Scary? Undesirable? See a pattern here?

The problem with alternative energy ideas is one that is usually rather glossed over: they lack concentration. The very history of civilization is the history of devising more and more powerful and concentrated energy sources. To make things work on a large scale, you need to deliver lots of watts, in any quantity needed.

Urbane Guerrilla's idea of intelligence is a 'big dic' mentality. His is bigger; therefore he must be more intelligent. Lurkers are warned that UG often brags about his superior intelligence.

He does same here. His political agenda is a solution for energy shortages. Numbers be damned.

The very history of civilization is always doing same with fewer resources. It’s called innovation. That means less energy every decade to accomplish a same task. A concept so hostile to right wing reactionary politics of Urbane Guerrilla. Innovation? There is no room for innovation in a world where only Urbane Guerrilla can be right. No wonder he never posts facts - only insults.

UG, show us how the Domino Theory was proven by Vietnam. Why did you go so silent when you were caught lying about Vietnam?

UG is promoting Cheney concepts: conservation is a formula for failure. UG advocates a world where innovation is a bad word. Urbane Guerrilla again rewrites the lessons of history rather than admit his political agenda is based in myths. Unfortunately that last sentence is only deja vue. That last sentence a warning to lurkers that Urbane Guerrilla's history is to declare himself of superior intelligence. That claim justifies his accusations and insults.

"They lack concentration". What does that mean? Did Rush Limbaugh teach you that nonsense?
