Whatever. The USA does need to plan for increased electrical energy consumption. The "cathedral thinking" strategy might have something going for it. When the Normans invaded the UK, they put thier authoritative stamp on the landscape by building massive cathedrals and churches. Much bigger and better then anything in the UK at the time. Most of them are still around today. Those buildings proclaimed "We, the Normans rule" to anyone who had functioning eyesight. It kept everyone busy too. No doubt the natives complained, and had there been any tea around at the time, the "tea break" probably would have been invented right there. I expect swearing was invented about that time, or it could have been the Egyptions.. "What? .. we're going to build yet another ******* pyramid" The Romans left the drains, the Normans cathedrals. Now, all things considered, CO2 is either a probable or possible significant cause of global warming. The energy requirement of humans on the planet is going to be at a premium whatever happens. Double your money if the planet starts to cool! So which country is best placed to introduce advanced technology that is "green" and can keep going for the next few hundred years? Here is some more info on James E Rogers.. duke-energy.com So, even though we don't go to church anymore, the Normans still ruled the roost during the middle ages, and the UK probably got the better deal in the end. Agincourt an all that.
