Penn & Teller - (No) Energy Crisis



The linked video is not work safe (nudity) but it is amusing.

Penn and Teller argue that there can be no energy crisis because we can expand nuclear, so drive all you want. Talk about slight of hand! (Well they are two los vegas magicians...)

Penn & Teller - (No) End of the World


Del: "Civilization as we know it could definitely come to an end."

Steve: "You just look at the resource use and things like that on our planet, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out it's all going to run out sooner or later."

Penn: "The good news is the rocket scientists are working on new technologies, not hiding in a shack like this."

Then Penn skips the resource issues and spends the rest of the video debunking religious cults and Nostradamus. Can you say slight of hand!

Bread and Circuses.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

This is what's wrong with the world. We second-guess experts and seek out sage wisdom from entertainers.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dub_scratch', 'I') won't expect a half hour entertainment/opinion format would be the best to layout all the energy facts. All Penn & Teller really did in this show was debunk is the anti-nuke hype and the hybrid panacea hype. I did not have a problem with their positions.

[steam_cannon]

I've also heard Penn and Teller have conflicting interests in these areas.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')ts first episodes were a very funny and astute debunking of hapless psychics and spoon benders.

A few episodes later, P&T shifted from rightly ridiculing pseudoscience to attacking real, hard peer-reviewed science — as if the two were the same thing.

As a result, the 2003 show where P&T assert as proven fact that global warming is bullshit is now finding a brand new audience — people who take as scientific proof Penn & Teller’s claim that global warming is bullshit.

We’ll leave aside that in 2003 the scientific record showed P&T’s claim was total, provable bullshit.

"Penn Jillette, H.L. Mencken research fellow, is the louder, bigger half of the magic/comedy team Penn & Teller. He and Teller co-host
a new series on Showtime that looks to debunk junk science,
scares and scams with reason and logic. Jillette writes the "Final
Word" column for Regulation magazine."

I love reason and logic and good science. When someone has to
bluster and and bellow, and flash female t&a at you, I believe
their logic is probably weak. I have an idea for their next show, debunk magic and illusion and show us how all their tricks work, and and while their at it, show us their tits just to keep it fair and balanced.

Suggested show title?

"Two illusionist comics debunk magic and strip to hold audience."

I'm no PandT fan.

When I think of GW, I think that, a mere 20,000 years ago, a 300 foot thick ice sheet covered half of NYC.

Now if we can just get Ziegfried and Roy to weigh in on
nuclear fusion we may just be able to wring the entire
brain trust of Las Vegas into a pickle jar and send it to
Washington D.C. for processing. Please ask Wayne
Newton to sing these fine people a rousing
"Danke Schoen" as a very small gesture of gratitude
on behalf of a grateful nation.

I watched up until their "rebuttle" of "no debate that glaciers are melting and species are going extinct," exccept there wasn't any. Just a guy saying some environmentalists were extreemists. That amounted to the extent of the substance to the rebuttle.

[Cashmere]

Penn and Tell vs. Algore.

I'd have to go with P&T.
