Elmat, You are so right about that. Some months ago there was a webcast with an analyst from Goldman, Lehman or one of the others, I don't remember which crowing that "trading carbon credits" is going to be the greatest "growth opportunity" of all times. And you are right about the Y2K hoax too. Maybe that was a "warm up exercise" to get the network up to speed. Slagle

People forget that if it is in the interest of rich economies to manufacture, they will. The only reason they don't do so now is because they make more money by outsourcing their manufacturing. It only took a couple of decades for Germany and Japan to become manufacturing behemoths after their industries and infrastructure were razed to the ground in WWII. If a country has the educated people, the rule of law, the culture for work, getting back into manufacturing, if that's what is needed, is trivial.
