Just printed two articles from this site, found this article and won’t be coming back.

Dang, been surfing this site and came across this piece of trash article.

Not quite sure how the 2 subjects are related but I am done visiting for good.

The author of this article is so biased and immature. I would expect writing of this quality from a high school student. Too bad Amy never learned how to compose without name calling. I will be deleting and blocking your website. Life is too short, and I have better things than read this garbage.

RUSH “…all of these nefarious things that really don’t produce anything yet?”
Mr Limbaugh needs to do further research. In coastal waters of the British Isles and Ireland they ARE GENERATING POWER WITH TIDAL GENERATORS. The Canadian government has contracted to install similar systems in British Columbia and several other areas. Germany has multiple communities that have solar and wind power as their majority power sources. Spain, India, China, Japan, Australia & other countries have alterantive energy generation installed and plan to install more.

PALIN “I think there’s a lot of snake oil science involved in that and somebody’s making a whole lot of money off people’s fears that the world is…It’s kind of tough to figure out with the shady science right now…”
EX-governor Palin shows her obvious ignorance of the entire energy fieldand a lack of basic knowledge of science in general.

As to the comment of several individuals earlier that this article has no place on OffGrid, this is exactly the type of reporting that needs wider disemination to show the lack of knowledge and fearmongering that is holding back developement of non-oil energy.

Wow – who would have thought a Palin and Limbaugh story would incite so much commentary. Personally, I think Limbaugh is a complete tool, and anyone who listens to him is either seriously devoid of brain matter or looking for a good laugh. Drilling for more oil in Alaska is only a (very expensive and)very temporary bandaid for our energy problems. So there’s a few billion barrels of oil there – we would go through the entire suspected alaskan amount (3 billion barrels) in less than a year. But why bother with foresight, when wasting resources is such a well-loved american pastime?

Articles like this are not what we need. I’m off Off-Grid.

This commentary really doesn’t belong on this site, at all. And the name calling? Come on….

Speaking on behalf of off-grid – we encourage people of every kind of view to contribute to these pages, and try not to censor things unless they are obscene or totally off-topic.

We are very keen to hear from Palin supporters of all kinds

free “flensing” for the obese.
Convert fat to oil.
Problem solved!

I agree with Lornkanaga. There are a surfeit of websites about politics. Not so on off-grid living. Wouldn’t it be great if going off the grid became a pursuit that brought together people from all kinds of backgrounds and helped them see what they have in common? I think that has already happened to some extent. If it became wildly successful in uniting people, the divide-and-conquer politicians (read: all of them) would quake with fear.

I hope this article doesn’t represent the opinion of the Off Grid management or the major opinion of most “Offgriders”. If so, I’m in the wrong place. She’s right! We need to capitalize on our own resources not just alternative but oil too. Restricting drilling, nuclear etc is just a recipe for keeping us dependent on the rest of the world. All in the name of extreme environmentalism. Global warming is probably a fact but calling it a “man made” crisis is ridiculous.

“Do you believe at all or some or a lot in the modern-day go-green movement of solar and wind and all of these nefarious things that really don’t produce anything yet?”

Does anyone who frequents this website honestly believe that wind and solar “really don’t produce anything yet”? Everyone should take a step back from their political leanings and think independently for one minute. Yes we are sending money overseas for oil, I think most people think this is bad. How much oil will be drawn out of US soil? At what cost to the environment? How many jobs will this oil drilling create? How about the green economy? It increases energy independence and security while creating jobs in America. Who can argue against that?

I think that as this site is bound to attract right-minded people as well as gun-stroking, bible-sniffing, survivalist wack-jobs, one is bound to get a w–i–d–e r–a–n–g–e of opinions on the Palin question. Opinions are like assholes (everyone has one). And the biggest assholes are the most opinionated.

It is always a funny thing to me that when people can’t find anything of substance to say about or debate with someone when they don’t agree with said person (or people), they tend to fall back on name calling. :-)
