I think we're saying the same thing w/ respect to China. I find it especially dispiriting, though, when you have countries that have been industrialized for as long as the US such as Germany or the Netherlands and they put a much greater emphasis on conservation. They also have policies and engineer technologies that we are all very likely going to have to follow or buy. The US is, w/o a doubt, caught in a trap of unwillingness to defer immediate gratification. This will cost us ... and, sadly, others.

CHINA'S PROJECTED FOSSIL FUEL USE 'SHOCKING' Henry Sanderson Associated Press Thursday, September 17, 2009 BEIJING \| If China's economy continues to expand rapidly and rely heavily on coal and other fossil fuels until the middle of the century, its power consumption would be unsustainable, according to a study by government think tanks released Wednesday. The two-year study, supported by the U.S.-based Energy Foundation and the international environmental group WWF, also said if China's energy usage structure remains unchanged, its emissions of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming would reach 17 billion tons a year by 2050. That would represent 60 percent of total global emissions and three times China's current production, it said. Message 25953239
