ANM, I'm with you. I'm not saying I prefer fossil fuels--it's just that switching to other sources of industrial power is a feel good measure to rip the bandaid off slowly. And, because the the 8 billion people on the planet want stuff, we can't expect that energy consumption in total is going to diminish. It will take different forms, exploit different natural resources, but I can't say the situation is going to improve until we reach a tipping point of global respect for the earth.
The people on this forum are not the people I'm talking about. We are the "simple livers." Unfortunately, there aren't enough of us.
