The Full Metal Jacket Energy Rant

The first posts here were concerning the abundance of marine bacteria producing methane and the fact that hydrocarbons are produced by biological sources.

Biotechnology already makes use of the genes of such bacteria, and using such organisms for energy production would be an intelligent application of biotechnology.

There are naturally a class of microorganisms that use photosynthesis to produce hydrogen, and their utilization would be a far cheaper and environmentally friendly source of hydrogen than the industrial processes advocated by Bu$hCo to enrich its backers like Halliburton.

There is no reason not to develop such alternative energy sources. These organisms could be easily and inexpensively used by any country in the world. Their availablilty would end the energy monopolies we have today.

There are political reasons why alternative energy production isn't being developed discussed here. The fall of fossil fuel availability over the next 50 years will consolidate world economic and political power in the hands of a minority as much of the world returns to a pre-industrial feudal state. The development of cheap energy even third world countries could use would disrupt the plans of those who want the chaos.

Cheap clean renewable energy derived from the sun by photosynthesis has the potential of producing enough energy to allow the expansion of humanity off of this world. It would not be controlled by just the American Department of Defense with the "guidance" of a certain private investment group. There would be less Star Wars and more Star Trek.

The best way to fight Bu$hCo is to change the territory it must try to control.

Just like the advent of microcomputers placed computing in the hands of everyone who wanted it and out of the control of the military industrial complex, the development of cheap alternative energy will transform this world for the better.

It will effectively disrupt the drive of the Company towards hegemony.
