you might take a look at the amount of R&D money going to alturnative
energy. the tiny amount is not going to amount to jack in time to keep
the bottom 50% of the scale alive. so folks are gonna start burning
anything to keep warm. plastic, tires, rubber, peat, lowgrade coal,
and anything else you could imagine. think what Boston could look like
on a bad winter.


And 50 years ago, how much was being spent on the development of hydrogen
fuel cells? We know immensely more now than we did then -- I have every
reason to expect that we will know exponentially more 50 years from now than
we did then. Particularly when you take into account that the average
desktop (or even laptop) computer today is more powerful than that which was
possessed by even the largest financial corporations fifty years ago.
Technology is growing so fast today that it's virtually impossible to keep
up with it. 50 years ago, you could buy a color television and it wouldn't
be obsolete for at least another 20 years. And as our technology improves --
particularly in the area of computers -- other advances that we cannot even
imagine today will suddenly appear.
