Let us at least move away from this dependence on carbon atoms ... we might find a lot of other 'good outcomes' from such an effort.uncle jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879341171634900790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056516915392913431.post-56488102099528871442008-01-23T17:34:00.000-05:002008-01-23T17:34:00.000-05:00It seems to me that enlightened self-interest is t...It seems to me that enlightened self-interest is the way to approach the global warming crisis. We know that oil is a finite resource; that some day we will run out of it. Much of the world's oil supply is in increasingly unstable and unfriendly areas of the world, where our armed forces are frequently in harm's way. Prudence would seem to dictate that we should work toward energy independence as much as possible; by conservation and increased efficiency, and by developing alternative energy sources (including nuclear). This would have the side effect of reducing our carbon footprint, for what it's worth. And makes more sense than the "throw a virgin in the volcano" mentality that we are seeing so much of.Melody Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442985285647041700noreply@blogger.com
