Slomo said:These claims are way off, and only look at half the problem. So what if some soap residue is left on your skin or clothes. That isn't going to affect the environment anywhere near as using more soap and rinsing it off better. What will affect the environment is using up all the fresh water around us. I'd be less concerned about soap residue, and more concerned about our rapidly dwindling underground water reservoir under the west coast (which is affected the most by crop irrigation, and is also running out faster than can be replenished).
And no, hybrids do not cost more in the long run. Once about 10-20 years ago it was nearly a wash. The added cost to manufacturer a hybrid was equally offset by gas costs saved- except added cost has never hurt the environment like burning gas does, so mire fuel efficient has always been better for environmental conservation even if it hasn't been for your wallet. Hybrids have also come a long way to costing less too. My 2016 Rav4 hybrid cost me $30k. Similar suvs cost about $20-25k. Oh, and I save about $25 per week in gas- that's per week. In 10 years that will be a $13k savings. Well below the total cost I'd pay for a non hybrid. AND since I'm burning half the fuel I used to in my old Jeep, I'm doing my conservation part by a lot- while also saving money.
As for the burning of diapers and trash. Show me what power company uses trash to power a turbine, heck most don't even want to use coal anymore due to the dwindling supply and higher cost. Can and do are two different things too, so can means nothing one way or the either if you don't do it anyways.
And wow, your "never run out of oil" claim is WAY off. This is well reported, and we are using it up so much faster than it can be regenerated. Even oil experts agree the age of "easy oil" has been over for decades. We've had to develop fracking and deep ocean drilling just to get at the more difficult to get oil. And guess what, there isn't an expert alive who doesn't agree syria, iraq, and other oil nations absolutely are running out.
Please stop spitting out your claims like they are the truth. You misinformation is not wanted, nkr does it help anyone. Do a little research before you make a clain, and when necessary or asked for then make sure to include those citations. (Of which we are asking for now).

Thing is the USA is the number 1 producer of oil now we have left the mideast in the dust so we can now tell OPEC to pound sand and we can set the oil price at fire sale prices to lower gas and oil products prices..
I will cite Wikipedia only if I know that the information therein is accurate and not tampered with since anyone can skew the citation to fit a agenda that I am not in agreement with .
Maryland uses trash to electric power plants and if you do not think that those smokestacks do not have scrubbers on them your mistaken.

Well sorry I do not subscribe to the modern spoon fed society so I say DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH You have to do the work that I all ready put in why should you benefit from the fruits on MY LABOR! Unless you are willing to pay for it?Crinklebutt said:those are quite some claims, care to back any of them up with sources, and "do your own research" is NOT a source. YOU make the claims, YOU back them up
Furthermore this is not a class in a school FYI.
