Yeah, piss off, let humanity suffocate in its own fumes already!
Here's why Greenpeace is annoying.... They have no alternative solution to their problems. They tell us to use clean energy (wind, solar, fuel cells etc) but just leave out the fact that only the richest people and companies (like Apple) can afford them. They also don't tell us where we would get he rest of the energy we need as clean energy could never even come close to satisfy the needs of the world.
Take the Keystone pipeline for example. Greenpeace is against it because it's going to ship oil from Canada to refineries in the US. They completely ignore the fact at A) the reports from
experts say there's little environmental impact and B) The way they transport oil right now is by train and
trains crash. More
often than we'd think.
Greenpeace ignores the fact that we need a TON of energy in this country and the only solutions they offer aren't affordable and are terribly insufficient. It's why the cover of
WIRED magazine this month tells us that renewable won't work and we need to clean up *gasp* coal.
I think it's good that Apple is using clean energy... that's great. But it's unrealistic for most of us. As for Greenpeace, they can stop talking until they're ready to step into reality with the rest of us and have a real conversation about the environment.
They're so crazy,
even their founder left because of it.
