Who are the Turtle Island terrorists? I only know of four people accused of attempting to build a bomb, but not actually having done so. Surely you aren't taking a government at its word on a politically charged case? Need we trudge ou

Yes I agree with you that it would be politically probably impossible, since it would, as you imply, require dismantling capitalism. But, it's not like we need fossil fuels to farm, and there's already enough housing for all the h

Hmm... no, not really, even considering rare earth mineral mining, the total elimination of fossil fuel combustion would dramatically reduce human environmental harm.
