notes:
it's the year 2101, this guy is 100. we ran out of fossil fuel, currencies collapsed, governments collaps, they're back to the old days of farming and scavenging. animals are dying off, people are dying off. the weather is fucked up. this guy wants us to change the future.

As you can imagine, when the energy resource shortages hit the United States and the economy started to go into a tailspin (it's interesting that I still use that word: only the oldest among us, such as myself, have ever seen an airplane tailspin, nose-dive, or even fly), people became angry and started looking around for someone to blame. Of course, the government didn't want to be the culprit, so those bastards in power (sorry, I still don't have much sympathy for them) did what political leaders have always done - they created a foreign enemy. They sent warships, bombers, missiles, and tanks off across the oceans for heaven knows what grisly purpose. People were told that this was being done to protect their "American Way of Life." Well, there was nothing on Earth that could have accomplished that. It was the American Way of Life that was the problem!
The generals managed to kill a few million people. Actually, it could have been tens or hundreds of millions for all I know; the news media were never very clear on that, since they were censored by the military. There were antiwar protests in the streets, and persecutions of the antiwar protesters - some of whom were rounded up and put in concentration camps. The government became utterly fascistic in its methods toward the end. There were local uprisings and brutal crackdowns. But it was all for nothing. The wars only depleted what few resources were still available, and after five horrible years the central government just collapsed. Ran out of gas.

George W. Bush is setting this plan in motion as we speak.
I have thoughts of a civil war in the united states in the not so distant future, but then i have thoughts of how many people sit and watch TV (not just news, people, MTV included for all the brainwashed, "whats the new brand of clothes i should spend my money on" teenagers and young adults) and get fed propaganda.....and eat it by the heapfuls.
Maybe I should follow Shortyz logic and live it up for my years, because the future of our existance rides on brainwashed youth who think "those ------- towel heads" are the real enemy, and those doing the brainwashing... which btw, are doing a damn find job. How many times have you all heard "lets nuke them all!!!"
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

there are way to many people making to much money to switch to electric. but europe has plugins all over the place for some.

hydrogen cell cars are the future, the problem is retrofitting gas stations, but "guess who" has already developed an inhouse hydrogen fueling station that goes in your garage and uses water and electricity (duh) to form the hydrogen.
I'm just pissed that this so called physicist is a total ------- moron and yet has the ability to send energy back through time... counter intuitive in my eyes, besides the fact that ALL of what they said is completely false when it comes to govt. collapse (the whole world huh?).
Don't get me wrong, I know we're living 1984; but this is such a blatantly wrong preminition of what would actually happen 'if' the world's "energy sources" disappeared. Drink your gin and go to sleep.
Jeez...I'm getting more and more pissed at this thing just thinking about the ignorance the author of this article possesses... talk about pseudo-environmentalists.... jeez..
