The Most IMPORTANT Video You'll Ever See

[skegpro]

2 million views for an old codger giving a lecture about arithmetic? What's going on? You'll just have to watch to see what's so damn amazing about what he (Prof. Albert Bartlett) has to say. When I saw this lecture at a conference in 1995, I came out blasted, thinking "This needs to be required listening for every person on the planet. Nothing else will matter if we don't understand this." The presenter is Albert Bartlett, a retired Physics prof. at U of Colorado-Boulder. The presentation is titled "Arithmetic, Population, and Energy," and I introduce it to my students as "The most boring video you'll ever see, and the most important." But then again, after viewing it most said that if you followed along with what Bartlett is saying, it's quite easy to pay attention, because the content is so damn compelling. If you forward this to everyone you know, we might actually stand a chance in staving off disaster in the global finance system, peak oil, climate change, and every other resource issue you can think of. Without a widespread understanding of what Bartlett's talking about, I think we won't be able to dodge ANY of those issues. BE ABSOLUTELY SURE you catch the parts about "the bacteria in the bottle" (in Part 3) and the list comparing things that add to the problem and things that address the problem. If we don't choose from that right-hand column, nature will choose for us. I for one, would rather we be the ones making the choice.

Thanks for sharing. I watched to the end. As the old Jeweler in Whitecourt used to say "We are fff...fffff...ffffuuu.....ffffuu....Buggered.

Check out this guys webpage and engine invention.

Tons of power, uses way less fuel and weights a fraction of todays combustion engines. He's been trying to get the major car manufactures to buy it but they won't budge.

Another energy alternative I know of is a couple in the States who invented an electrical generator using two opposing Rare Earth magnets. One small unit using zero fossil fuels can generate enough power to run 5 homes. I mean small unit as in it is housed in a 5' x 5' square container. They want to sell their technology and invention but the General Electrics and Westinghouses of the world won't let them get going. To many governors and senators who own big shares in these corporations. I'm sure greed will take the population of this world down before common sense will prevail. Sad eh?

You got that right man. Who knows what really is available to mankind that would make this world go round without making a mess. Of course those products just won't make the zillion airs into squillion airs.

I want one of these units for my sled, 40:1 power to weight ratio...I think so!
