I'm posting here -- and 'there.' Why are you 'concerned' ...
...about where I post, Jorj? -g-
I believe that you started -- and trumpeted -- this thread with a heavy emphasis -- and resentment -- the 'chip-on-your-shoulder' thing -- i.e. -- "THIS" ENE SI chat board will be UNMODERATED."
Well, you want to change that?
Sounds like it.
You want to read what you want to read. And nothing else.
Here's something to read, Jorge, if you want a change of pace.
I realize it doesn't 'belong' on an ENE-specific chat thread, but, after all, this is 'unmoderated.'
Correct?
From Scientific American Feb 2002 issue:

"The ecological footprint--the average amount of productive land and shallow sea
appropriated by each person in bits and pieces from around the world for food,
water, housing, energy, transportation, commerce, and waste absorption--is about
one hectare (2.5 acres) in developing nations but about 9.6 hectares (24 acres) in
the U.S. The footprint for the total human population is 2.1 hectares (5.2 acres).
For every person in the world to reach present U.S. levels of consumption
with existing technology would require four more planet Earths."
