Solar power requires 700 times the land of nuclear power to produce the same amount of energy, calculates Ben Pile. And it still won't work in the dark. When will we recognise the immense folly of renewable energy?

Jump To Comment: 1 2It is disgusting to think that intelligent mammals are up for being slaughtered,i saw some comments on twitter where even ricky gervais has highlighted this issue..
More action needs to be taken on this,the worlds resources are not limitless,(we use trees for toilet paper and money,cars chugging co2 up into the atmosphere,destroying all sorts of ecology falling trees and forests all over the world)our seas are being overfished and abused.
For example anybody seen the ''health food drive'' on krill oil,these krill are being overfished in the antartica where they reside,and are being used for stupid things like health food krill oil,and there is no scientific evidence krill oil equals a healthy body..
On overfishing all our oceans,If we allow this to happen we will have no fish left,also what is worrying is that these fish are being taken before they reach sexual maturity meaning they are taken before they have the chance to pro create / multipy..
The next generation of greed consumed human beings will have to suffer the consequences of this.
There are sayings that certain animals/fish are pests,but the real pests are us,human beings,there are far too many human beings on the planet to begin with,all wanting to consume,consume,consume..We are going to hit 10 billion by 2050,thats a lot of mouths to feed.
Maybe the cull should begin with us??
Maybe if humans just focussed some of their supposed intelligence on proper long term resource management it would be a start. Capitalism is out of control and destroying the whole ecosystem just for the short term benefit of a few. We need something different along the lines of the venus project perhaps?
A resource based economy, with a reproduction licence / lottery system to stabilise the human population.
What's the point of allowing 10 billion people to exist when most are just work slaves or hungry, diseased and miserable. But that's what globalised capitalism does. It breeds misery and poverty and eats up and wastes resources at an incredible rate, creating duplicated rubbish products that we don't need, most of which are in landfill in 6 months
By current calculations, the planet can only support 2 billion people without oil falsely inflating the food supply, using traditional farming methods (that's assuming they live an altogether simpler vegetarian life)
And we need to start considering animals as fellow travellers on this earth in their own right, not just resources for our consumption and exploitation.
We believe what differentiates us from other animals is our intelligence. Perhaps we need to start showing it.
