It's funny cause you consider those alternative forms of energy. Sort of like how python is an alternative method for C# code.

No viable alternative source of energy exists today to replace petroleum. As I said, nuclear could have been a way, but they had a couple of catastrophic spills in the experimental stages and pussied out.
Sun? Wind? Not with the technology we have today. Obviously they are sufficient to fuel a home and a car (maybe not even), but Joker is talking about mass production and transportation of goods and people. That you cannot do with anything but petroleum in today's world.
Unless the engineers can come up with something new.

Pezer understands what I am saying here.
In my opinion nuclear energy on a mass scale is too dangerous for the environment.
It is simply not viable.

This is exactly why we need to be looking at population control. We either do it through attrition or through more catastrophic means.
Personally, and this is not to go to the sexist extreme that James will (James being a respected peer), I think one of first things we need to do is take control of birth control away from women. They are just too susceptible to baby fever. We need to find a way to easily and cheaply reverse vasectomies and have every pubescent boy have a vasectomy and have his sperm saved in a bank to be used at his discretion. Once men have a choice in the matter, that is outside of their sexual drive, I'm almost certain there would far more reservation about childbirth.
Plus that, it will give men a little more leverage in the war between the sexes.

The totalitarianism of population control have a variety of social consequences and backlashes.
It would not be pretty. It really wouldn't be containable on a practical manner.

Yes, James, but what I'm proposing is a more democratic approach to it. I'm almost certain that you will agree that men, the way it is now, cannot pursue sex without the possibility of producing a child. Have you ever been with a girl who says she's on birth control, but may not be? Once again, we as men, as it stands now, have no control over it -that is unless we permanently give up having a child through vasectomy. We need to have a choice in the matter. And it needs to be one better than wearing a condom.
It's not like the more totalitarian approach of China.

So you're arguing, pezer, that we should have the power to destroy ourselves?
Or that less reasonable people should have the right to take me, or my children, down with them?

With all due respect, Pezer, "facism" is a vague term that can be used to attach a negative tag to anything we don't like. I don't like The War on Drugs; therefore, I tend to attach the tag "fascism" to it. I equally do so with Capitalism because it tends to do exactly what the Nazi's did: eliminate or ostracize the undesirables.

This is my spiel:
Fascism is a scale of how much of the control it wants a government has. A lot=very fascist. A little=not very fascist.
As pertains to the point I was making, you were calling for birth control measures that require certain things to be prohibited and others mandatory. This would require a government with the power to implement, which would be fascist in my book. I use the term because it expresses perfectly, in one word, the relation between will and power in statism.
