Blue Sky Limousine

At first I thought the ad was for hardcore Super Soakers. The music, outfits worn, setting, and action seemed to mimic scenes from “The Matrix.” “Adults selling water guns? This is new.” All of a sudden the ad cut away to a future car driving around running on hydrogen. “Honda: [...]

It seems like “it” is really happening. Oil prices are climbing higher and higher. Eventually there could be massive gas station crowding, long lines, and long waits.
It feels like there’s potential for things to smooth out, but now hearing about the rising cost of oil, it feels instead like we’re in the calm [...]

Yesterday the movie “More of Me” was released, and today I watched it. Molly Shannon is a dyna-Mom who is granted the wish of having more versions of herself to help accomplish her hectic schedule. The difference between “More of Me” and “Multiplicity” is that in “Multiplicity,” Michael Keaton got to enjoy the [...]

From what I’ve heard about Global Warming, it basically entails more extremes in weather. More droughts, more flooding. More blizzards, and hurricanes. More tornadoes and tropical storms. But I was watching a news program recently and they were discussing how the warming might lessen our heating bills by providing for a [...]

I saw on an episode of the “Colbert Report” that a few years ago, 2005 or 2006, greenhouse gas emissions were down from the previous year. Colbert attributed this to higher oil prices lowering demand for gas, and our government’s hesitation to correct the aftermath of wild weather like Katrina.

I feel like we could all be doing more. Like we’re not taking the threats of a rapidly changing environment seriously. Like we’re going along at a slightly altered pace of destruction, maybe slightly slower, but still steady and strong. Why aren’t we taking bigger steps to stop global warming? Why [...]

Remember back in the 90’s when an electric car seemed possible but unnecessary? Apparently there were a variety of forces at work to convince the public that the electric car was lame and unnecessary.
An episode of the Simpson’s lampooned the propaganda. When the family visited a theme park, they rode in an electric [...]

I’ve heard that potentially, all of today’s problems could cause the U.S. dollar to crash, and lead politicians to lobby for a single, unified currency worldwide. This would supposedly be done to promote and ensure economic stability.
Why would the dollar crash? If global warming continues and worsens, economic disasters could put a strain [...]

If we ever reach the point at which resources are few in number and difficult to obtain, it makes sense that the government, to prevent chaos, would strictly enforce resource allocation. We’d all get rations of energy, food, water, and supplies. At that point, we’d be truly dependent on the State for our [...]
