Where's Scully when you need her?
Via email from Gyrus…
One of the newest energy lobbyists claims he has the answer to climate change: spaceships.
The government has in its possession “extraterrestrial vehicles,” lobbyist Stephen Bassett said. As in flying saucers.
Imagine the power source, he said, behind a 30-foot wide saucer that weighs the same as a tractor-trailer yet hurtles through galaxies at 20,000 miles per hour.
“What is the energy system operating that craft?” Bassett said. “They’re not burning kerosene.”
He added, “It eliminates oil. It eliminates coal. If it’s as good as we think it is, it transforms everything.”
A climate solution that’s out of this world, The New York Times.
Bassett certainly makes more sense than David Bellamy, for instance. So let’s not discount him entirely. Sadly though, he’s being overly-optimistic if he thinks E.T. will help prevent Climate Change. After all, the space-aliens have been manipulating human culture for thousands of years now precisely in order to create a civilisation that would pump vast quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Once it’s enough like their home planet, they’ll start Phase 2. And yes, that is a cookbook.
