After 21 Conferences to ‘Fix The Climate’ we still see CO2 emissions rising and new fossil fuel prospection surging ahead. With the whole biosphere now teetering on the edge of collapse we need every tool possible to postpone disaster
Alex Lightman has challenged the oil giants, with:
- his brilliant Ted-talk ‘How To Rid The US of Fossil Fuels by 2030′ see below. ,
- slideshow (see below)
- his presentation at the NH3 Fuel Conference : NH3, Food Security, and The Transition to Fossil Fuel Free
- and his coming book “The Infinite Feast: Food Security via Clean Energy”

Lightman is another ‘Mr Fix It’ reformist, albeit a brilliant and powerful one. He wants to destroy the oil giants to fix capitalism, so that it can escape its current blind alley and the USA can still rule the world. However if the alternative is climate chaos and the extinction of millions of species, including our children, his reformism is more than welcome, as a respite while real grass roots revolution can develop.
Whether his recipe can win is another matter. the fossil fuel energy has half the politicians on earth bought and paid for, receiving trillions in still increasing ‘subsidies’.
One example, in Spain the moment solar panels became economic the successful industry was destroyed by proposing a huge tax on using the sun, proposing fines of millions of euros for not registering, and similarily the excellent wind sector was stopped in its tracks by revoking contracts and abolishing subsidies retrospectively. Many corrupt Spanish politicians get honorary board memberships of fossil fuel companies, with huge salaries.
Another example..The British Government has just decimated its own solar and wind industry and announced huge oil industry subsidies at the behest of Tory ‘fossil fools’ criminals woth vesred interests.
Alex Lightman is proving that a Green Revolution is technically possible. Whether it happens depends on the mobilisation, or not, of people power to confront the ‘Death Corporations’ and their political stooges.http://350.org/
