Criminals to Energy Has Many Benefits to Society

One of the great crisis facing our country is not only crime, but also the need for energy.โšก Why not convert convicted felons to energy with a modern waste-to-energy facility? ๐Ÿญ

This week it was proposed to let parolees vote.๐Ÿ—ณ Why avoid the whole situation all together, by incinerating the convicted criminals rather then let them back on the street? ๐Ÿ‘ฎThen we would never have to worry about criminals committing further crime or even needing a right to vote. Incineration of criminals would be a carbon negative solution, as an incinerated criminal would have no further consumption involved with their life.๐Ÿ”ฅ

Waste-to-energy for convicted criminals is a clean, modern way to dispose of criminals. Unlike conventional waste-to-energy plants, the fuel of convicted criminals is relatively clean source of fuel, with the make up material almost entirely organic.๐ŸŒŽ Criminals contain much fewer heavy metals than ordinary solid waste. The demand for fuel to operate a criminal-fueled energy plant, would encourage people to be law-abiding, knowing otherwise their is a hungry furnace looking to convert themselves to energy.

Many people are opposed to the death penalty.๐Ÿ™Œ I understand there is an issue with those wrongly convicted of crimes. Mistakes happen. But with the savings to governments with waste-to-energy for criminals, monetary relief can be provided to families of those wrongly convicted of a crime and converted to energy.๐Ÿ’ฐ While money can not restore a life, it can provide reasonable compensation for wrongful death.

I think Waste-to-Energy for convicted felons is a humane, effective solution for reducing crime and our nation’s carbon footprint. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ It avoids locking up people, infringing on their freedom. No more prisons — just energy. ๐Ÿ”Œ Converting convicted criminals to energy can provide for our nation’s growing need for energy, while getting people permanently off the street that are harming our society.

Bigotry

SELF-Therapy: Bigotry

I often hear people express bigoted opinions about other people. I get angry. But then again, I realize I am not angry at them but actually myself for my own bigoted opinions. I suffer from much of the same hatred of certain others I do not understand as anyone else who is also a bigot.

The answer to bigotry is not hatred of people different than you but it's understanding where different people come from. People who are different than you aren't evil, instead they are often very caring good people who live in a different social environment than your own.

How Southwest Pilots Could Have Landed Safely With a Blown Engine

How Southwest Pilots Could Have Landed Safely With a Blown Engine

"A Southwest Airlines flight flying from New York City to Dallas turned terrifying Tuesday morning, when the left-side engine failed at 32,500 feet. Debris from the engine, which appears to have exploded, punctured the fuselage, leading to the violent depressurization of the cabin. Oxygen masks above every passenger dropped from the ceiling of the plane, and the pilots quickly brought the Boeing 737 to below 10,000 feet, where the 144 passengers and five crew could breathe, before making an emergency landing about 22 minutes later, in Philadelphia. The National Transportation Safety Board, which is now investigating, says that one person was killed, but did not share her cause of death. It marks the first fatality on a US airline flight over American soil since 2009. Photos show a gaping hole where a window was on the 737, and outside a mangled mess of engine cowling, with the white-on-blue Southwest lettering crumpled like a soda can. According to a local NBC affiliate, passengers say the woman who died, sitting in the 14th row, was partially drawn out of the broken window before being pulled back in."

Why U.S. Carmakers Could End Up Wishing They Never Asked For Weaker Fuel Economy Standards

Why U.S. Carmakers Could End Up Wishing They Never Asked For Weaker Fuel Economy Standards

"Thatโ€™s partly why an array of groups have voiced opposition all week on the EPA announcement, which jumpstarts a joint process with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to reset the targets. The Obama fuel economy standards were an insurance policy, they say, so automakers arenโ€™t caught flat-footed if gas prices were to spike and crossover fanatics find themselves in need of something more fuel efficient."

"Granted, modern crossovers and SUVs are far more fuel efficient than the big trucks of old. But beyond all that, U.S. carmakers could find themselves at a competitive disadvantage as China and the European Union implement more stringent standards, while the auto supplier industryโ€”which is already preparing for the 2022-2023 model yearsโ€”may be thrown into disarray if the standards are seriously weakened."
