So I just don't worry about any legacy I may leave behind. But nah, the problems won't be fixed at all...... You rebuild a few roads in a city, then next day there are 35,000 extra cars......

Solar energy is still a very marginal source because the amount of energy used to make the cells is never factored in. Ditto wind power. Hydro is "cost effective" because the dam builders don't pay for the now-submerged real estate-nor would they pay if the dam failed and the newly dry, developed flooded areas had to be paid for. There is never going to be **FREE** energy, ever. And if there was, all it would do will be to allow humans to rape their envirinment ever more cheaply by demanding ever more from it. So free unpolluting energy and the unlimited amount of demand in humans will most surely doom us all since the earth cannot sustain an unlimited number of demanding humans. Simply put, the man who has access to a free can of gas will buy two chainsaws instead of one, and cut much more wood of the forest for his cabins to house his second and third wives, since demand has no bounds. The French are about to build a first nuclear fusion reactor, and if that works, it may give at least a lotta energy with out such a high cost or pollution, but not straightway..... Humans may need to genetically engineer themselves into new forms of our species to be less egotistic, stupid, wasteful, and perhaps able to eat their own ****e to improve their situation which may not be so good in 3005. Maybe aids will become more virulent, and as transmissible as the common cold. Maybe in 5 million years cockroaches will evolve into intelligent forms and shove whatever we become off the planet. I don't give a **** about the future; it can all take care of itself. If I live another 20 years, I reckon I will die at about the right time in history. I apologise in advance of this to all owners of tube gear; I won't be around to fix all your problems. Patrick Turner. Who will you bequeath your tube stuff to? west My friends. Patrick Turner |
