If you do I want to live up stream from you. No, I mean we have become an incredibly wasteful, resource intensive, society. In the long run, it is unsustainable, especially with a couple of billion Indians, and Chinese, wanting to be like us. I don't know what the future of capitalism will be, but I'll wager it will be considerably different than the laissez-faire system we have had over the past century. Who has the potential for being the bigger waster of the Earth's resources? China = 1.3 billion people. Inia = 1.2 billion people. USA = 0.3 billion people. What does the Sierra Club think about the Three Gorges Damn project? What was the result of their protests against the project in China? When 500 million Indians and 500 million Chinese are driving around in their gas burning automobiles what will you do to reduce their carbon footprint? Glad to see you agree with me. |
