“A Dream That Comes True”: Standing Rock Elder Hails Order to Shut Down DAPL After Years of Protest

I am happy about this, because I know that there are suppressed alternatives that can be used to replace fossil fuels - no, not just renewables!

She was shot with a "rubber bullet" and a police grenade exploded on her left arm, causing extensive damage. She is a victim of police brutality. She was engaging in her constitutionally-guaranteed right to protest and was brutally attacked. Today, a judge ordered the pipeline to be shut down and drained of oil. There has been at least one large spill into the tribe's drinking water. Let's hope that will be the last. Sophia, you played a huge part in this victory and paid dearly for it.

@@TheProphetWind it will eventually. The oil bamker will try but lose. In Northern Europe they have already created the industry to replace it. However the oil cartels are trying to restrain this. But nature will force it on them. I only fear that those cartels, will try to corner the market on natural energy.

[@TheProphetWind]

@@jeffrutt5292 If the infrastructure is already in place in Europe then they just need to get going on it. A lot of the issues with these things is people come up with ideas that sounds nice but when they actually go to do anything with them it comes out to cost way more than they expected. Look at Solar road ways, on paper great idea right, however they generate less power than they consume. I am all for people trying to figure something new out but electric vehicles are not as environmentally friendly as people say, you still need to charge them and unless you have a proper solar setup it then you are just using the power grid which is ran by fossil fuels in most cases. The trend tends to go with the cheapest way to make things not the most environmentally friendly. If someone comes up with a way that costs the same or even a couple pennies more then im sure you can get investors on board but we can't just claim an idea will work.

[@jeffrutt5292]

@@TheProphetWind agree. AOC acts like anyone who oppsoes her methods, is opposing clean energy. We all want a safer and cleaner air, water, and sustainable life. But her outlines to acheive this are unattainable. It has to come from private investment, or we have to end the Federal Reserve and Nationalize our monetary system. The Fed will not finance this. We are controlled by a economic system that does not allow us to dictate the spending or distribution of our currency. it will be up to state energy companies to invest and transition the energy sector into a clean safer more affordable manner. But there lies the problem, companies are about profits. So for now, it will be up to the private tech companies to keep advancing research and development on technology in that direction. Eventually a company will create a automobile that is all energy autonomous. Then we as people would stop buying gasoline engines cars. Then the oil tycoons will sink, or have to reinvest into this new wave. Pretty simple, we are forced to use these cars, and becaise if that, we keep buying their fuel. These companies are going to continue to suppress this technology, until they are forced to utilize it. A man from Texas in 1977 invemted a fuel injrctor that allowed engines to get well over a hundred miles to the gallon. The man died not too long after, and his patemt was squashed. It is clear their profits alone would of been cut in half. It also with less waste, would of created far less emissions. Anyways you are right, but that was my whole point. We need to allow the market of these goods by curiosity, and wanting to buy these products.
