I guess in my absence I have to repeat myself for the slower members of the class...

Didn't you first mention the "law of conservation of mass"? Well that would be fantastic if it were 1930 but, unfortunately, ever since a little project in the 40s it's been called the Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy which states that neither mass nor energy can be created, though one can be converted to the other. You are ignoring that there are indeed a finite number of photons carrying a finite amount of energy and if they begin hitting solar panels instead of the Earth's surface then the majority of their energy is transferred to the panel and not to the surrounding environment.

The form of the energy is immaterial; there is a theoretical limit to the amount of energy available to us at any given time. Though the sun is a renewable resource (every day we get the same amount of energy from it), it still represents a system constraint. Every photon that hits the Earth contributes; while there is likely some amount of change we can make that will render few direct effects to environmental quality, there's still a limit. Fucking eco-faggots never recognize this.

Then we loose one of our biggest supplies of oxygen on the planet.
It's funny that you mention CO2 pollution but promote the electric car (faithfully recharged by fucking COAL BURNING power plants!) I guess if you pick an issue to hammer home and bury your head in the sand you get something accomplished (just nothing particularly useful to our health.)

Diversity is key, so diversify your energy sources...and be less energy dependant. Our ancestors lived with no electricity for millenia on millenia, i think we can live by doing more with less.
Begs the question as to why you expect us to totally ignore ONE source of energy that is very available, convenient, and useful?

This amounts to conspiracy theory. There's no market for electric cars, which don't even help the goddamned environment.

When the electric car comes out, it requires none of those, once you buy the car you are no longer dependent on any of these dirty oil products. You only need to charge you battery in an outlet.
Is this a fucking joke? An electric car still requires lubricants. Maybe if you wanted to make it out of delrin or other so-called "self-lubricating" (read: naturally smooth) materials you could operate it without lubricants... But oh wait, those are oil-based synthetics themselves.

Look up on the internet about Professor Cho Jaephil who currently is about to make a breakthrough increasing battery life by 800%!
Yeah, that and the energy issue involved with supplying the power to the wall.
