Interview with Opium for the Masses, an Intelligent Band for Discerning Listener

…So your interest in making music is a ploy to draw attention to the world


It takes energy to make energy, so it is never even implied that energy input closely matches energy output. As an example we’ll speak of hydrogen. Hydrogen is a type of energy storage, it’s not a natural resource we can simply extract. In order to get hydrogen, you must apply electricity to water, then extract hydrogen. Well where does the electricity come from? Fossil fuels. What about Ethanol? Why don’t government officials state that it takes energy to plant, fertilize, pesticide, water, and harvest corn? What about the energy it takes to convert corn into ethanol? We don’t even have enough land to plant all of these crops for energy alone, where is our food agriculture going to go? Interested parties consistently fail to mention the full formula of what it takes to make energy. They do this because one, there is too much invested in the current oil and coal infrastructure, and two, there is a lot of lobbying money. We really don’t have a plan for the future. Our environmental climate has reached the point of no return, and change has to come quickly. It is very clear that global warming is scientific fact and not theory. We’re in a lot of trouble here, whether Al Gore explains it to us or not. The question is how do you stop or reduce the industries that are making so much money from allowing harmful emissions into the air?
