“Our society is dependent on fossil fuels right now. That little 14 percent that we get from other sources, that’s not enough to really run anything. Del Monte might be able to run its little power plants or its scattered factories from other fuel sources—but you know our computer companies they won’t be able to do it. Our mining facilities, they won’t be able to do it. Right now, we still need fossil fuels. We don’t have to like it. We don’t have to talk about it.
It is an unfortunate truth, but we should be taking those fossil fuels and turning them into renewable energy sources and we are not. We’re burning them and as a result, there’s going to come a day when we will no longer have sufficient fossil fuels to create renewable energy, and that time is coming. Because so far all of the biogas and all the other technologies that we’re trying to create, I believe our biogas industry is about 2% of all the energy produced in the US, so when we run out of fossil fuels, when we run out of the easily attainable fossil fuels, the oil wells, and gas mains and all those places that we’ve been using that kind of energy, when that runs out we will no longer be able to generate energy at a level sufficient to create the technologies that the future will need.
So if anything, what we are seeing now is basically short-sighted greed that could basically undermine our civilization, and I don’t think anybody’s really talking about that in any way, shape, or form…”

“Here’s the thing about The Good Men Project. We are trying to create big, sweeping, societal changes—–overturn stereotypes, eliminate racism, sexism, homophobia, be a positive force for good for things like education reform and the environment. And we’re also giving individuals the tools they need to make individual change—-with their own relationships, with the way they parent, with their ability to be more conscious, more mindful, and more insightful. For some people, that could get overwhelming. But for those of us here at The Good Men Project, it is not overwhelming. It is simply something we do—–every day. We do it with teamwork, with compassion, with an understanding of systems and how they work, and with shared insights from a diversity of viewpoints.” —– Lisa Hickey, Publisher of The Good Men Project and CEO of Good Men Media Inc.
