It's precisely by NOT doing those things that Americans use vastly more
energy per head of population than anyone else on the planet. About
twice as much as the average European AIUI.
And the average European would *love* to be able to afford to do the same.
Then there's the Chinese, Indians, Africans. All of which aspire to be
wealthy. With wealth comes consumption.
If global warming truly is the fault of man's consumption there is
absolutely nothing can be done about it by man. Eventually, nature will
sort it. Luckily I won't be around when it does.
