The benzene contamination in food comes from the pollution, and plastic wrap. Yeah, if you make a highly processed food using dirty water, in a factory filled with fumes, and then wrap it in questionable plastic and then cook it over flames it might not be good for you. "its presence in foods has been attributed to various potential sources: packaging, storage environment, contaminated drinking water, cooking processes, irradiation processes, and degradation of food preservatives such as benzoates." It is funny that you compare oil use to cigarette smoking. There is no doubt cigs cause death. From that same paper it says 99% of our benzene exposure was inhaled. Since I don't smoke my best way to reduce toxic exposure to eliminate the other sources as best I can. Edited 11 hours ago by TailingsPond Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ecocharger + 1,515 DL 11 hours ago (edited) The wind energy system is already winding down with the change in federal direction. https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Wind-Power/Orsteds-US-Struggles-Deepen-as-Trump-Derails-Offshore-Wind-Ambitions.html "Orsted announced a $1.68 billion impairment charge on its US offshore wind projects due to rising interest rates, seabed lease issues, and delays in the Sunrise Wind project. President Trump's executive order halting new offshore wind leases in federal waters and suspending permits and loans for wind projects further impacted the renewable energy sector. Shares of Orsted and the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) fell sharply on the news, and Wall Street analysts expressed concerns about the future of the US offshore wind industry." "Storm clouds continued to gather for the Danish company after Trump's executive order on Monday, which suspended new offshore wind lease sales in federal waters and halted the issuance of approvals, permits, and loans for both onshore and offshore wind projects. Trump's announcement weighed on renewable shares, sending iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) slightly lower in premarket trading. ICLN shares have slid for 3.5 months on the anticipation that Trump will dial back green energy spending. Shares are now trading near 2020 lows."

So much for energy freedom. Remember the time while freedom and free enterprise was a thing? Such horrible logic "bans on oil development on federal land are bad,but bans on windmills are okay."

Every time you take a breath of moderately clean air or drink slightly polluted water you can thank me for trying to keep them less poisonous for you. A forest fire is a natural disaster. Do you not understand the difference between "acts of God" and human actions? You just used the same whataboutism garbage logic I just explained. "But, but, what about forest fires?"

Windmills and their experiment on sonic wave might have changed patterns of wind, direction, etc while sonic wave experiment is killing aquatic lives. - imagine when wind flowing through modern windmill, how would the direction be? Side way, where wind touches the pointy blades and move turbine? Perpendicular , where wind hits turbine directly from the front and somehow turns it? Either way, circular motion of wind forms around turbines. Could this form resistant to wind flow? Consequently, changing climate and wild lives near wind farm and beyond? - although oilspill is disastrous, most might be caused by natural calamity, minority on human sabotaging act. 2. The new culprit of climate change has been identified. German-german jews who declare themselves master of all races, who have plan for all mankind, and who promote helenic spirit of uniformity through imitating and worshipping their culture are to be blamed. Germany has 10-12% of green or forest coverage before decades of reforestation. Promotion of copying or imitating them, 70-90% of the world has 0 to 20+% of green or forest coverage. To support it, why was climate change not obvious until industrial revolution? Answer: buffer was available to neutralize the usages of fossil fuel until massive industrialization and social development or expansion were happening after WWII. What buffer? Forest! Trees! Gone! Therefore, german master race thingy, german-german jews conspiracy and their third, fourth, fifth reich who conspire to this uniform copying ideology should be made to pay the world for remediation with all they have, underground and above ground. Who is ruthless to competitors? Jews. Who was inhumane towards their own kind during WWII? Jewish doctors, german jews, german. After 6 millions of killing of own, other numbers with other races would be shrugged with a reply:" what about 6 million of lives compared to those?" Who forces companies to adopt net zero programme and go green with half baked technologies? Jewish owned banks or initiatives, master race colony and followers. The right way is to build a working example. Examine the outcome and shortfall for a 10 years. Shall working well, promote it to encourage uptakers. Not by force. When offsprings of rich are deprived off their birth right to inheritable wealth, they are probably just arrogant imbeciles who believe they are higher than thou and born to be god-like, but actually could function worse than a human beggar or a male/ female pushie seller, is it not?? Nutshell, why should you follow their order or instruction??! Stand up for yourself as human beings with clear sense of right and wrong, courage to do the right things, bravery to resist the wrong and return justice where it is due... When these restored, you will have plenty of rightful money to be earned or shared, wrongful intention and wealth crushed to bits.
