Hurst Sun, 19 Jul 2009 01:53:28 +0000 http://ecopolitology.org/?p=257#comment-166 JBM- I think what Olmec is saying is that wind power is great, but if it only goes to support growing energy needs and increased consumption, then it is only a stop-gap measure. We need long-term solutions to our growing energy demand. And Olmec's not unreasonable suggestion is seems perfectly valid. To suggest that he is saying current lives should be shed is not a fair characterization.

Or was it other "populations" that should be trimmed? That’s a great sentiment Olmec, perhaps you can start by shedding your life in a peaceful gesture towards the creation of a utopia.

Or was it other “populations” that should be trimmed?

Also US cannot be compared to countries like Germany. US has a huge chunk of a continent. It's a huge country. If you have to compare, compare the US with Europe as a whole. Let's see at the numbers there ;) You cannot compare last two years to the last 20 because there practically was no development going on for the last 20 years.
