@Martin Svensson it is possible and planet of the humans has already been debunked. For one the movie primarily focused on tech that’s at least a decade old instead of current methods.

@Digital Wraith Hahaha 🙂 No.. it hasnt been “debunked” lol. I can debunk any of those videos for you claiming to have “debunked” that movie. There is nothing to debunk. You cant debunk pshysics. And the obvious power structure driving this scam. Nothing has happened the last 10 years that solves the problem. It just moves it somewhere else. So it might look better at first glance. New tech always cost energy or resources somewhere in the chain.

Most injuries were from automobiles hitting people on bikes due to a lack of road regulation during that time, places that have designated things like bike lanes to city streets see a much lower injury rate

Thus says The Lord God: I have spoken, and sent My messengers before My face. Yet this foolish people can in no wise see, nor are they able to hear. They refuse to look past My messengers; they refuse to acknowledge the Word of The Living God! Yet what is the messenger to you, O ignorant and vain peoples? Why do you consider, so carefully, seeking to find fault with those I send? Why do you concern yourselves with those I choose, and why do you judge those through whom I speak?
And what is a prophet? Is he not a man, My servant, whom I have chosen and called? And when does My servant become a prophet, and what is the length of time he remains as such? Lo, he is only a prophet in that self-same moment in which I speak to him and cause him to hear, prophesying only as long as I cause him to speak or to write My words. I AM THE LORD.
For there is no prophecy apart from My will, and without My voice there can be no prophesying. And without My spirit, no man may hear, nor shall he behold a vision, nor is he able to understand. Apart from The Holy One, there is no knowledge; only vanities and lies, false glory, evil divinations… Seek therefore true knowledge, and you shall also receive understanding! Get wisdom and heal these blinded eyes, unstop the deafness which plagues your ears!
Here is wisdom: If I send a message, even two of the same, each to separate houses by way of two different messengers, then what is that to you? Indeed, what are the messengers to The Message? Am I not The Sender?
Have I not the power to speak through whomever I choose, and send whomever I choose? Or would you have sin prevent Me?! Lo, shall I speak through donkeys instead, for they have no sin? Shall I send the birds of the air to be My messengers, for they have no sin? Shall the sins of men prevent Me in anywise?! Shall My voice be stopped by any means?!… Behold, by the mouth of Caiaphas I did speak and declare My will and the means by which you would be saved, though he had the greater sin![1] FOR I AM THE LORD; I DO NOT CHANGE! My words declare My glory, My message reveals My majesty and the power of My strength! STOP STARING AT MY MESSENGERS! Look past them and see with greater eyes!
Therefore, O ignorant and vain peoples,
Flee from all these arrogant pastors
And prideful teachers, blind guides who closely
Adhere to every form of doctrine and tradition
Of men, while forsaking Me and My Word!…
Escape all these chains and come out
From among them, and seek to buy new
Oil from those who sell the pure oil;
They will not withhold, for I have sent them;
They will gladly pour out…
Yea, they have received an abundance of oil
From the storehouses by which you may surely
Relight your lamps, if you so choose to receive them.
Hurry now, darkness has fallen, and soon the fullness of night will come in where no one will be able to work, save those who will be set up as beacons. These are they who shall be both seen and unseen, those who will pass through the multitudes unnoticed, yet clearly set on a hill. I tell you, no man in authority will find them, nor can any device of men track them, nor shall any do them harm. For I shall be with them and in them, and remain always their rearguard, says The Lord.
For indeed, many will come, saying, “Let us slay them!” Yet I warn you, though many thousands were slain in times past, and a thousand more were sent, in the Day of The Lord’s Anger it shall not be so! For strong is The Lord, and in My prophets I shall surely come to dwell, even as a flame of fire! Behold, each one shall possess the power of the trumpets of Jericho, and they shall surely give a shout![2] And woe to all who come against them!
Therefore come forth, all you wicked!
Seek out My witnesses to do them harm,
If you have no fear of God in your hearts!…
Lift up your voices, all you mockers,
Make yourselves known, all you scoffers,
All you who remain blinded in your pride
And deafened by your arrogance!…
COME OUT, ALL YOU GNASHING CHILDREN!…
For The Lord your God has prepared a great slaughter!

Emissions free public transportation is great but how much is this going to cost? Right now, emissions free technology isn’t NEARLY as capable or convenient as using a fossil fuel powered vehicle. Governments around the world will face significant resistance if they try to make laws that force people to use this tech that is cost prohibitive, unproven, and not as capable as fossil fuel. I know here in America, several politicians want to enact the Green New Deal. But the Green New Deal will practically kill international air travel and commercial shipping because the cost of maintaining the tech at its current level was so expensive, no one can afford it. Except governments. It also sucks because fleets of planes and cargo hauling ships would be eliminated from operations because they couldn’t meet emissions standards. But we don’t have any comparable technology replacements. No one has invented an emissions free jet engine. No one ever will. Jet engines don’t work that way. The Green New Deal would effectively put many international businesses out of action. Since countries would not trade and have severely reduced contact, xenophobia sets in and now you have countries worldwide that are fighting over resources and tech. Not good.
Has anybody thought about the personal cost for the end user? Has anybody thought about the economic impact of mandating the use of unproven and inefficient tech? Has anybody even thought about whether we actually have enough raw and rare materials (lithium for the batteries, neodymium for magnets for these electric motors, etc.) to make this happen?
It would be really easy to completely break governments by mandating they use emission’s free tech when it’s Impossibly to fulfill the transportation needs because of a shortage of resources and just the ineffectiveness of the product. Once again, countries end up fighting over resources.
Nobody will switch to emissions free tech until until it’s as proven and reliable as fossil fuel. Nobody. People will not run their business at a personal loss and nobody will buy a car that will keep them broke with maintenance all the time to save the environment. Not gonna happen.
I know what several governments want. They want their citizens to use public transportation. But I’m not riding on a smelly bus with a bunch of other smelly, especially people when I can drive. My corner store is only a ten minute walk from my house, but I drive instead of walk. It’s safer. I have the personnel protection of being in my car. I don’t want to walk anywhere unless I have to. But the person who determines where I drive and what I drive will be me and me alone.
I’m not willing to destroy my way of life, my habits, and my ability to travel around like I want to for the sake of saving the planet. I’m not willing to be poor and inconvenienced to save the planet. We are all here for a very short amount of time and then we all eventually get old and die. I want to make my life as comfortable as possible. The problems associated with the emissions free tech would not make me comfortable or happy.

I see you trying to make fun of me for not agreeing with this BS. What you (or any of these people) cannot do is produce a workable and reasonable plan for clean emissions that doesn’t require breaking the economy of the entire world.
If shaming language is the only thing you can use to make me change my mind, I won’t change. The only thing that will work is logic, reason, facts, and REAL RESEARCH WITH REPEATABLE RESULTS!
And none of these people have been able to produce anything.

It’s not as much as you think…. All road mileage for private cars in my country (Ireland) could move to electric using only 25% of current generation capacity. That’s an increase we’re already exceeding between now and 2030 with renewables (renewables already supply more than 50% of power sold here, easily in excess of 70% by 2030). Combined with the existing reduction in electricity demand in many countries due to the spread of energy efficient appliances and LED lighting, and the fact that most EV charging occurs during periods of low grid demand it would take many years of the majority of new car sales being EVs to even notice an uptick in demand. The only immediate need in most countries would be reinforcement of local low voltage grids in EV heavy areas.

Getting clean (addiction euphemism) and sobering up from oil is no easy task. That gargantuan chore is compound by the pervasiveness of the myth of the rugged individual. Henry Ford didn’t invent the automobile. Nor was what he invented mass production. What he invented was democratized personal mobility.
Democracies don’t just vote with ballots on constitutionally prescribed dates. They vote every single minute of every single day with their lifestyles and the wallets that support them. So then the elephant in the room becomes not the smog everyone is breathing, but the enormous income and wealth inequality that has perennially been encouraged to fester!

Funk Addict

You really think that this person doesn’t know how electricity is produced? Electricity produced by even the worst methods, such as coal, is much more efficient than having millions of vehicles with their own power plant. Think of the process to extract the oil, then refine it, transport it to each gas station and then burn it in the engine. Electricity only needs to be produced at origin and is transported instantly by cables to your charging station or home. Also, ICE are much less efficient than electric motors, because they produce immense amounts of residual heat which needs to be removed from the engine in order to keep it working. They are also much more complicated and expensive to build and maintain. Now imagine if your electricity mostly comes from solar, wind, wave power, or even nuclear.
