Fascinating.<br /><br />But to the quote above -- it is plain wrong. We do have the technology today. Nuclear fission. That the same people who get their panties in a twist over alleged anthropogenic "climate change" also oppose nuclear power simply shows how unscientific & irrational they are.<br /><br />The great thing from the viewpoint of the human race is that left-wing granola thinking may dominate the US and EU, but the US & EU are not the world. China, India, Brazil, Russia will each choose its own technological path forward. They can choose to deal with real problems (such as finite fossil fuels) rather than imaginary problems (such as anthropogenic "climate change"). <br /><br />The human race will move forward -- without us.Kinuachdrachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13275320683766290581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251183560375528307.post-5739461440894464932010-01-21T11:44:39.544-06:002010-01-21T11:44:39.544-06:00And also with you!And also with you!Heading Outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01790783659594652657noreply@blogger.com
