That's freedom.Īs far as I can discern, this thread just shows we're *all* cranky snowflakes with pet peeves. Spotify has a right to set their own rules, and neither Neil or anyone else is required to be party to them. Can you imagine if we made every decision based on who was the 'in' or 'out' group at any given moment? rebels, you're going to miss a lot of life's nuance and color. If all you can ever see is black and white, establishment vs. The 'left' is the political establishment in the USA? Yeah right, and my name is Mother Jones.

I understand the left doesn't believe in free speech - just look around Now look, the American political left IS the establishment & guys like Joe Rogan are now the true rebels. In the 60's, it was cool to buck the establishment, right? Now Neil is going after Spotify - pulling his music because of Joe Rogan's riously, Neil? Don't project it on to green energy, Darryl Hannah, or any other convenient target. If you're ticked off that Neil isn't currently touring, say so and leave it at that. I would not have thought any of this was particularly difficult to understand. Electricity is generally cleaner than fossil fuels. Neil Young (like any other singular person) can't change how other people consume energy, only how he uses it. The point here isn't to use no energy-as that wouldn't be humanly possible-but to use it as cleanly and responsibly as possible.

2) Live music, like most things people do, requires energy. I'm going to offer a couple of broad premises here, which I don't think will be too controversial:ġ) Live music is better. The cynicism in some of these responses is stifling. But who said that the end of our freeloading schemes at the expense of our children's future would come for free? All of that is more costly and will not benefit West Virginian senators. Trucks can be operated with bio-diesel (i.e fossil fuel free). I somehow believed the production of electricity with the help of biomass, wind, water and sun are known technologies in North America. Where does Neil think the electricity for his bus will come from? This comment has been removed by the author. That action would do more to save the earth, then one single electric bus. At least in that format I won't need to sit next to some drunk azz fan that ruins my experience by hooting, shouting, whistling, and hollering over the music, and I won't need to pay $9.50 for a plastic bottle of water during the show.

I'd buy tickets for that - particularly if it allowed me to download the music after the show. Listen, I respect his motivation and mission, but if this is his goal then maybe he should just stick giving his fans 'live' Fireside streaming shows as a reasonable solution to touring.

Makes you wonder how his road-eyes will be getting to the same venue with all of his gear, and if he expects that all of his fans will be walking to see his show. Neil Young might understand, that his dedicated European fan community could achieve far more positive climate impact than a principled rock musician with a pledge to not use airplanes anymore. Not that I advocate to trade pardons, but European tours still might be possible under the condition of compensation. Everybody subscribed to 'It's hard to make arrangements with yourself', but when it comes to actually trying, some fans start bitching, as if Neil Young were driving under emotional influence. While I can see that Neil Young and Daryl Hannah agree in environmental and other matters, I can't see why these interfering judgements are justified. More and more, one should talk to Daryl to know what Neil thinks. Gotta start somewhere, but transition needs to occur, not elimination. The shoreline, the solar and wind can assist in energy supply, as it is doing, and yes, some have made a total conversion on a small scale.

I remember Neil talking about the energy transfer from the moving parts/braking, etc for Lincvolt, that would seem to have a future if technology can harness it. Gas and bio-diesel contain energy in themselves, electric needs transmission to storage for use. And when the batteries are dead yo have to bring the electric to the stalled vehicle, that doesn't work effeciently. I just don't see an all electric future due to (current) limitations to the refueling/re-electricing while in transit. I think the idea of hybrid vehicles is the immediate solution, and I will also concede that bio-fuel is a viable alternative for the combustion engine.
