TJ, after a second look around, following up inspection last year, I haven't seen sterile. It's not even all that clean. They did okay in the sars stakes, having a good dose of infection. I don't think it's socially sterile either. Au contraire. It's highly cosmopolitan. Plus, unlike Beijing and Hong Kong, the primary language is English. I do not see doomed. I see very successful and no particular reason for failure. Even the heat, a problem before the invention of air-conditioning and heat management techniques such as big concrete/stone buildings, might be a positive as it is free energy swirling around which isn't available in the Arctic [or in NZ come to think of it]. I guess there is more free energy arriving in Singapore each day than moving in all the supertankers of the world combined. Canada takes a lot of heating. The USA takes a lot of heating and a lot of cooling and a lot of SUV propulsion. Singaporeans need no heating and not all that much cooling. They just need to reinvent the air conditioner as a refrigerator with the door open more or less, with a thermostat control to maintain freezer, refrigerator and house all at just the right temperature. The excess heat could be used for cooking or hot water heating [not that I've used any hot water other than for coffee since being here, a cold shower being welcome - cold being about 24C I guess since the water preheats just getting to the 24th floor]. Singaporeans are far from doomed. Though I don't like the proximity to sea level and tsunamis, though they are a bit more sheltered from Pacific Ocean tsunamis than a lot of other places I can think of. Mqurice
