The real unsung green heroes though are simply those couples that don't have children.

No one will say it out loud, but overpopulation is the number one pollution, habitat encroachment, and limited resource consumption problem facing the world today. Yet most world governments (except China) still take away money from singles and childless couples and pay others to have children.]]>Jul 25th 2010 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/inhabitats-week-in-green-fuel-efficency-flies-high-turbines-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/inhabitats-week-in-green-fuel-efficency-flies-high-turbines-t/

The best thing any green scientist could do is put something in the water that reduces fertility, as even the greenest of green hippies living on almost nothing will still have consumption and waste that over a lifetime is mind boggling, and if he has five children, its geometric. ]]>Jul 25th 2010 11:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/inhabitats-week-in-green-fuel-efficency-flies-high-turbines-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/inhabitats-week-in-green-fuel-efficency-flies-high-turbines-t/
No one will say it out loud, but It's progressive hipsters like you on the left that are destroying this country and the world. There is plenty of room on this green earth to accommodate an ever growing population. People need to stop following this climate change/carbon tax/cap and trade agenda which only seeks to add new taxes and destroy the middle class. Don't get me wrong I am %100 for alternate energy and recycling, but it doesn't have to be done overnight, trust me the climate has been changing for thousands of years, the earth will be ok. By the way there are already chemicals in most public drinking water, sodium fluoride is the most common. This chemical has shown to reduce fertility and cause brain damage, so I'm sure you've had your fair share by now. WAKE UP PEOPLE, the leaders behind the environmentalist movement are EUGENICISTS. They want you dead. By the way I'm a libertarian, not a right wing nut.

Conservationism is simply about quality of life. And yes, Al Gore is simply milking the platform for his own personal gain. No duh.

Anyone that has been in the army or managed any logistics for large groups can tell you about how much food, water, sewage, gas, waste etc a person creates/consumes in a week. Factor the bare minimums over a period of 67 years, and your jaw will hit the floor.

Its simple logic that if you have five times the amount of people competing for the same resources and producing waste, your quality of life is reduced, even if you can cut each individual's consumption/waste in half. The world has limited resources, arable land, wildlife habitat, and so on, so until we can colonize other planets, we have to get our population under control, because there is no higher predator to do it for us. Most disease, poverty, war, habitat destruction and other issues faced today are a direct result of overpopulation at its core.

Heck, even hunters understand this concept controlling deer and hog populations to healthy sustainable levels. ]]>Jul 26th 2010 1:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/inhabitats-week-in-green-fuel-efficency-flies-high-turbines-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/inhabitats-week-in-green-fuel-efficency-flies-high-turbines-t/Jul 26th 2010 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/inhabitats-week-in-green-fuel-efficency-flies-high-turbines-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/inhabitats-week-in-green-fuel-efficency-flies-high-turbines-t/Jul 26th 2010 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/inhabitats-week-in-green-fuel-efficency-flies-high-turbines-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/inhabitats-week-in-green-fuel-efficency-flies-high-turbines-t/Jul 26th 2010 1:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/inhabitats-week-in-green-fuel-efficency-flies-high-turbines-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/inhabitats-week-in-green-fuel-efficency-flies-high-turbines-t/

p.s. SO WHAT if Al Gore is milking the Global warming issue for his own gain. Isn't that called Capitalism?

Truth is that most people are Progressive on nearly all important issues, its just that the media (Fox News) has made the words "Liberal" and "progressive" unpopular.]]>Jul 26th 2010 3:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/inhabitats-week-in-green-fuel-efficency-flies-high-turbines-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/inhabitats-week-in-green-fuel-efficency-flies-high-turbines-t/

Either History or Discovery channel ran a show in 2007-2008 about a power plant in Spain doing that. Just saw it again a few days ago.

Yep - here ya go - "Andasol" opened up nearly 18mos ago! March 2009. I know another is named something like Solar Tres or similar...

Turbulence is the one thing that seems to be getting worse these days and it's very hard to pinpoint, forecast and route around especially in a fast dynamic weather system, not to mention congested airways limiting deviations around it.
