Energy policy always puts em to sleep. But I'll throw in my 2 cents worth.

Convert CO2 to gasoline.

I work from home for the most part so we I rid of my truck and used that money to buy a golf car that I've souped up and made street legal to drive all around the hood. I go to the store, the golf course, sometimes cut across the course to get to a different shopping center w/ all of the usual box chains. We still have the Toyota Sienna but we're trying.

Next on that list are solar panels for home cooling/heating and water heating, etc...

Yes but is the golf cart battery or gas powered and what is your handicap?

And stop messing up the fairways by cutting across the course to get to the shopping center. More fertilizer has to be used to repair your golf divots.

Gee whiz Sean, looks like Eman has been stalking you, he knows all about the golf divots caused by your golf cart and even how much fertilizer it takes to repair them.

I wish I knew everything too.

Maybe Eman will take you on as his pupil and in a few hundred or thousand years you will know everything too.

Simply concerned about benthic organisms near the course is all, among other things.

it's pretty simple, actually.

and all it really entails is calling bullshit on the bullshit.
we ALL just have to STOP allowing bullshit to have any "say"!

for example: we must start to completely ignore and blow off the assholes with ties to special interests - like those who are now trying to say wind energy is killing birds (there's a wind farm near me, and that claim's pure bullshit) these people are coal people masquerading as environmentalists! people with ties to special interests should be exposed and their opinions written off for what they REALLY are!

likewise, we need to force the auto makers to mass produce their electric cars - they already know how. we could FORCE them to mass produce these cars by applying HUGE sales tax penalties on any/all vehicles that's not getting a bare minimum of 50 miles to a gallon. the ONLY reason they aren't doing so already is the FACT that auto makers are in bed with the oil companies. this is well documented - and quite frankly - common knowledge.

this relatively recent practice of debating things with bullshit artists is killing our country on MANY levels. people with absurd views, or direct ties to special interests that run contrary to the good of the country are being allowed to weigh in on important issues as if they had legitimate opinions - and therefore, are circumventing common sense and the best interests of the general population.

isn't it time to STOP letting the flat earth society run our world?

It is time, but unless you have millions or billions of dollars at your disposal and political influence, you won't get very far. These energy companies won't invest into anything that doesn't provide returns like oil does. Until a profitable alternative is found, oil is king, IMO.
