[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3276363, member: 5412"] 99% of the people that think we should harness cow farts or whatever ignorant theory they have live in the bubble of a city where public transportation is a viable alternative to firing up the car, and they can walk to a restaurant or to their shopping possibly. Here in the country we cannot live without fossil fuels. Farmers and ranchers cannot use a prius to do their daily work, there isn't a solar panel big enough to power the motor of a 1 ton hay truck that's working all day long. The environment we live in is extremely cleaner now than 50 years ago when we did pollute the rivers and streams with industrial waste. The Hudson river in NYC is full of stripers and a recent national bass tournament highlighted how well the river had recovered from the day when soap suds and waste floated down the river into the ocean. The Cuyahoga River in Cleveland had a history of burning because of industrial waste discharged into it that finally ended up in Lake Erie which was known as the dead sea because it was so polluted. The river and lake have been cleaned up and both are great fisheries currently. We keep cleaning up our environment, yet the climate goons keep telling us we are the problem while letting China and India, both huge polluters off the hook. The politics of "climate change" has to change for me, because it's all about gaining control of the people. I'm not going to walk the 5 miles to town and carry home bags of groceries, make lard for soap and candle wax. Not gonna hitch up some horses and a single point plow to turn over 40 acres that would take most of a month to do. I'm going to get in my pickup, drive to town do what needs to be done, and come home to the air conditioner. Humans are but a tiny bit of any climate issue. While we may have polluted a couple of rivers in highly industrialized areas there are millions of other streams and lakes that are not polluted by humans, flowing freely and clean. It's been my pleasure to fish some of those all summer long. [/QUOTE]
