Bangkok Saves 2,346 Megawatts Electricity During Earth Hour

[TimeBandit2]

Energy scarcity is a myth. The world, the Solar System and the Universe is abundant in energy. The problem is that that much of the energy exists in a form or location that is not useful to humans. There is enough energy in one pound of anything to run Bangkok for a trillion years. Just like bronze age man could not have built the space shuttle, we cannot even conceive of apparatus that will exist or what functions they will perform. They won't just be powering toasters or air con units - they'll change the way that humans conceive of space and bend causality.

Good for Thailand, good for the energy situation.

There are people paid to surf the net and post simple-minded hyperbole against energy savings and sustainability. Then there are the easily fooled who have drunk the Kool-Aid. I wish there was an ignore button... it's not even funny anymore.

Another example that is live for years already.

There's a small city in Germany, 6000 people, that operates and runs with alternative energy and utmost energy saving measures(like isolating the houses properly etc. etc.).

A house with 90 square meter living space had a 89 Euro bill for heating - for the last winter season (not per week - the whole season and it was a very strong and cold winter).

Many say this is outdated and it can be much better than that.

GO GREEN!

Relocate them all to a big city, put them in some high rise apartment blocks.

Knock down their houses that took so much space for only a few people. Plant trees everywhere. Scarify the surface of the road that leads to this small city with its selfish people. Plant trees there too where the former roads for this few people was.

GO GREEN!

People living in big cities and and high rise buildings take only little space from mother nature and sharing the little space they took per head with other people.

People living somewhere country side, in some back to nature project stealing much more sqm per head from mother nature. for their living space and for the long roads that leads to their houses, roads only very few people are using. That are the wasters who destroy nature.
