This is a complex problem. We have the dynamics of diminishing supplies of ecologically-acceptable energy, intertwined with economics and perhaps most important, the dynamics of human behavior. For expectations of human behavior, history is our best guide. The line between negativity and realism becomes blurred. It's true there's always hope, but as they say in investing, hope is a bad strategy. Working in the oil patch, Alberta, Saskatchewan and BC during the late 70's, I met farmers whose water tasted of gas, was not potable and whose animals had been crippled and killed by sour gas emissions. Recently, CBC ran a documentary where farmers in Alberta, exposed to accidental sour gas releases, suffered harmful effects. Such cases are the exception, not the rule: nevertheless they exist. We're witnessing the beginning of the Great Adaptation, as mankind adjusts to the New Equilibrium; we won't live to see the end. There's a wide range of expectations, some very optimistic and based on a perception of entitlement. They will be measured against the global reality of massive, complex interactions. Thanks to you and others for discussing these issues. I won't post again on the subject, except in response. Recommendations expected ;) Jim
