Reply #20: I'll bet Mr. Greer uses 10x as much energy as the world average [View All]

so I'm not sure what he hopes to accomplish by trying to convince the Chinese to use less energy. He could stop railing on Al Gore and take a lesson from them.

Americans could adopt austerity measures to save energy and it would be a drop in the bucket. The rest of an awakening world wants, and deserves, the benefits of cheap and clean energy. As a society which until now has enjoyed ours at their expense, we have an obligation to provide it for them.

My faith in fusion may very well be unfounded, I hope not. I have even less faith in predictions of, "there is no way..." to do something that really needs to be done. Seems those people have ended up eating crow more often than not.
