The Healing Power of New Energy (Friday Fun)

June 8th, 2012 by Zachary Shahan

Here’s a fun video in support of clean energy and a healthy planet that I ran across on NewEnergyNews recently:

Thought that made for a good Friday share.

Also, if you haven’t seen this gem, you have to watch this Colbert segment on climate change:

Captivation

It just sort of hit me today that Climate Deniers have low risk tolerance for fairly safe activities: biking, vegetarian food, renewable energy investments. But the same Climate Deniers have insanely high risk tolerance for activities that collectively put humans at risk: nuclear waste, toxic emissions, climate change.
Could the central conservative flaw be that they focused all their peanut butter on the individual risk side of the sandwich and had none left for the collective risk side? If so, we need to teach people to use a butter knife to cover the risks more evenly. Exposure to small individual dangers is preferable to big collective ones.
