Search around and find an interesting article about some new idea in green energy and how it will be used extensively in the future and how it will help us get off of fossil fuels.
Post it. And make a few positive remarks about about how encouraging a development it is.
Observe the sort of responses you get.

"Now now... play nice with your new playmate."
I landed here via google and responded elsewhere before seeing this.
"Now now... play nice with your new playmate."

Two silly questions.....
1) How do you get those nifty quote boxes??
2) How do I get the smiley faces showing on the left of my screen inserted into my posts?

Carlhole, like a few others, will attempt to push your buttons. Just smile, pat him on the head, and go about your business.
I will PM the info on quotes and emoticons.
We need more counselor types on this here internet. Stick around.
Heineken gives you his best beery welcome..
Green energy has a role, but the problems always are, Is it really green, i.e., harmless across the board; is it actually net-energy positive when all required inputs are fully accounted for; and will it in its aggregate forms be enough to offset fossil fuel depletion?
Many of us here tend to answer no on all counts, and argue instead for a rational powering down and downsizing of civilization. However I do see green energy as an extremely valid part of a downsizing, should we ever be so rational as to undertake one.

In some cases, a retreat is an advance. All good generals know that. Those who have ignored it have famously failed throughout history.

In either case, I don't think I could afford the room and board costs. On the other hand, if I could catch a train to Florida or Charleston, it would be what, 5 days? That I might be able to afford.
don't think anybody's jobs will allow people to take such long vacations. When high speed travel is gone, we're going to be severely limited in where we travel for recreation. Only the rich or people taking a long sabbatical between jobs will take such trips.
