Gulf Oil Spill: BP's Poor Record So Far Dulls Hope For Future

Friday, June 11, 2010


Environmentalists have provided solutions (wind, solar, hydrogen, conservation, 'smart communities' - ending suburban sprawl, etc.), but greed has overwhelmed rationality. Establishment capitalists reject the solutions because their obscene profit-making comes from an unregulated growth & development pyramid scheme.



Their way to wealth is always about MORE -- More people to buy more products which require using up more raw finite resources, manufactured and delivered with dirty energy that creates unhealthy toxic conditions for human beings and other living things.



We have come to the end of a world and an economy that requires constant growth and consumption of the planet's resources to keep increasing wealth. We don't need increased population competing for scarce resources. We don't need some people to work 80 hour weeks and others living off stock dividends.



You can't eat oil.



We rely on the oceans of the world for so much, but primarily food and oxygen. We're destroying our own life support system so that 2% of the world's population can hold most of the world's wealth.
