It seems to me that there are so many people protesting against anything new that should some scientist(s) find a new safe form of energy they will not be allowed to develop it because of irrational fears.
For example we still get protesters against mobile phone masts because of alleged,unproven radiation fears.
Also some time ago scientists found a way to preserve food for very long periods without freezing or the use of chemicals, it was called irradiation and would have dramatically reduced the energy required to store food.
Once again there wasn't the slightest evidence that such food was in any way dangerous but the crackpots got their way.
Your thoughts please.

The problem is that crackpots now make up the majority of humans; especially in the media, politics & global business
is it sane to persue infinite economic growth on a finite planet?
eg when we could have quiet, clean high-performance cars do the media still tell us to buy stupid ugly fossil fuel noisy, smelly polluting junk? There has been no mention by the UK motoring "journalists" of the Tesla, built by Lotus Norfolk UK, 0-60 in 4 seconds 250 miles per charge
These are the crackpots that will cause the end of the world as we know it.

Even though some of us worry about these things we must remember that God exists and He is still in control.
Man is only a steward of this world he cannot destroy it!
It will come to an end but not in the way you think.. you want answers seek God for yourself ... Read the Bible I find that it is has all the answers for me!

we will always have crack pots as you put it. for most of us we would be classed as insane if we came up with such radical views as some of the distant and not so distant leaders have been. who knows how the world will end ,we are doing a pretty good job of destroying it anyway. with all the building and violence in the world now.

I don't think pointless protests based on unfounded fears are going to end the world as we know it. Crackpot Islamic terrorists getting their hands on nuclear weapons will eventually end the world as we know it, Iran will probably give it to them when they are ready.

Possibly but then they might not be intelligent enough to realise that some one will take their own lights out before letting the deed be done.
In my opinion Man will be the cause - so I guess he must be a crack pot to want to carry on and do it.

I completely agree. The problem is of course the conservatives. If they would just let us democrats do the thinking for them like everyone else, all would be swell.
