By chance, do you know what clean coal is?

DON'T DEMAND CLEAN ENERGY, DEMAND THAT WE STOP DEMANDING!

Let's start somewhere. Please? Do you enjoy the trees, the fresh air we breathe? The wind as it rustles? Do you here the pleas? Do you want to live amongst barren, infertile land? Do you think we can really survive amongst toxic, lifeless sand? Our desires of more have intoxicated our thinking. We seek to control every moment of our life, to the point, that we neglect to see the disease this "dream life" really is. We no longer know how to survive. We need artificial heat, artificial light, artificial food, artificial cooking, artificial everything. We are all acting weak for we are scared to deal, and work with the natural elements. Our demands stem from our impatience, "convenience addictions", and insecurities. We, in turn, tend to hoard, overuse, become careless and wasteful. We drink beyond the point of true thirst, we eat beyond the point of true hunger, we drive beyond the point our feet would take us. It's gotten so out of hand, what we, day in and day out demand. Demand of each other, demand of the earth, demand from this life. Are we stewards? Or are we succumbed ?

This next video speaks of a manifestation of our societies needs. We are living a life that involves seeking whom we may devour. Little do we sometimes realize, seeking what we may desire, involves the inevitable devour. Perhaps we'll do something when it happens in are own backyard. My hope is we'll do something before it's to late.

Last point before the video below....Is about CLEAN COAL. An oxymoron at best! Do we really know what clean coal is? Do we know where it comes from and how it gets cleaned? Most of us don't even know where the food we eat and the water we drink comes from, or how it's processed. Much less do we realize the energy we use daily, the carcinogens we come in contact with daily, the chemicals and toxins we give off daily, the trees that are laid to rest daily, and the land that is destructed and "dream life" infested daily.

Let me give a quick simple synopsis. Coal in its natural state is non-toxic. Once blasted and taken out of natural form all the particles of sulfur, carbon, hydrogen, arsenic, lead, selenium, mercury, etc., get released in the air or thrown on the earth. This thrown away matter contains radioactive elements along with extra polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and hydrophobic organic compounds. Throwing life out of balance.

And the hype about clean coal? As is happening in the Appalachian mountains... We clean the coal on site with kerosene, diesel oil, crude petroleum, and/or toluene. Now, given these cleaners, along with all the particles from blasted coal, you get toxic slurries. These slurries are being left either in ponds between the mountains or we inject them into old mountain mines. These slurries leak and seep. These slurries are causing real sickness, real death, real pollution.

As far as the new "clean coal" in plants around the country? These plants, first off, are getting some of there coal from mountain top removal. Secondly, these plants still give off tons of CO2 emissions daily. The only solution scientists can come up with to clear the atmosphere of this supposed "unscathed clean coal" emissions, is to capture and inject the CO2 below the surface of the earth. Question is, have we had a chance to test the ramifications of those actions? Once again, patching up and hiding the evidence of our addictions.

P.S. It's not about who's at fault and that were all bad because we consume the way we do. We were in fact taught this. Just as a spoiled child becomes literally "spoiled", so is are expectations of this life spoiled. We are going against the grain, all in honor of empire. The great empires of this world USE us, and teach this "dependence mindset". There is no need to conquer!

Now that we know, let's do something about it. Let's actually change the demands and conveniences we expect everyday. Let us live simply. Life will then naturally reward us. There is no reason to take in order to be truly rich and live a truly luxurious life. We need to reassess are ideas of what luxury actually means.
