You must be joking, right. The only thing toxic to the earth is humanity. If only we could get rid of those dirty humans who foul our air, pollute our beaches, dump their trash, fish our oceans, drive their cars, build their toxic highways, remove traditional migration routes, fell our trees, fertilize our soil and transfer unnatural species onto pristine environment. Things were better when the sun didn’t shine as bright, and the planet was one continent, and volcanoes had free reign, and hurricanes were much more severe, and tornadoes ripped up huge swaths of our trees and plants and unadulterated forests were decimated by fires begun by natural lighting. Oh the world was so much better before mankind came on the scene. At least 50 million years ago the dinosaurs only had to worry about each other in their pristine environment. The oil that seeped out of the ground through various fissures only devastated one continent, not like now as the oceans are seeded with the results of our human induced disasters. if only we could get back to nature when nature destroyed nature not like now when man destroys nature. Oh the pain of it all.

If we could force an end to fossil fuel subsidies and tax breaks and put a sizable chunk of that money in renewable energy I think we’d find ourselves over the hump in five to ten years.

Just one more example of why we need to go beyond these hard to procure fossil oils and develop sustainable liquid fuels that can be controlled and will not be “spilled into the sea”….I’m thinking oil from algae
