Which Day Would You Prefer?

This post is a text by my friend Robert W. Felix, author of "Not by Fire, But by Ice", a book based on research indicating the earth is on the cusp of a new ice age. - AC

Which one day of the week do you want to live?

Which one day of the week do you want to run the electricity in your home?
Al Gore makes it sound as if all you’ll need to do is use a few of those curlycue light bulbs, but cutting your energy use by 80 percent will require drastic lifestyle changes.

Which one day of the week do you want to drive?
Al Gore wants to force you to cut your energy use by 80 percent. How else do you think that will happen? (Will you even be allowed to own a car? More than one car will most certainly be considered frivolous.)

Which one day of the week do you want to run your furnace?
How else will you cut your energy use by 80 percent?

Which one day of the week do you want to use your computer?
Remember, electricity only one day per week.

Which one day of the week do you want to wash and dry your hair?
Oops. Forget the hair dryer - too frivolous.

Which one day of the month do you want to wash your clothes and hang them out to dry?
Forget the clothes dryer - too frivolous.

Which one day of the week to you want to run your dishwasher?
Forget the dishwasher - too frivolous.

Which one day of the week do you want to run your air conditioner?
Forget the air conditioner –– too frivolous.

Which one day of the week will you want to go to work?
With all of the businesses shutting down, who’s going to need you?

Which exotic foods are you prepared to give up? Grapes? Lettuce? Oranges? Bananas? Those may not sound very exotic to you, but if it’s not grown within 50 miles of your home, forget it - transportation costs will be too frivolous.

How many people are you willing to have move into your home?
It won't take long before some convenient scientist will create a study that shows that the average person requires only 200 square feet of floor space. If you have a 3,000 square-foot house, you should therefore have room for 15 people. If you have four people in your family, you'll be required to - voluntarily - allow eleven homeless people to move in free of charge.

Don't laugh, Comrade. I'll bet someone is already working on this. (Remember Dr. Zhivago?)

Al Gore wants to force you to cut your energy use by 80 percent.
Do you really want to follow someone who is intent on destroying your way of life?

Please think about it.

Robert W. Felix, author of Not by Fire but by Ice, maintains that we are now headed into an ice age, and that this would be the worst possible time to restrict energy use. Felix is also the editor of www.iceagenow.com
