Good article. I'm actually a pretty simple person. I believe in moderation in all things, as a credo for life. But we live in a world filled with extremists and they are getting more extreme. One day soon, we're going to have to start living within sustainable limits and build our societies based on renewability, or we're going to crash into the wall. I hope mankind has the strength to overcome the baser instincts of our Darwinistic world, but just like Stephen Hawking, I think the prognosis is not good. He said we should focus more on finding new worlds, since it's beginning to become clear that humans are destroyers of worlds, and at this point in our evolution, we aren't yet capable of renewable living within limits.

In China, the Green Rush is On "The longer we in the United States wait, the farther ahead China will be, and it will be harder for us to catch up," Commerce Secretary Gary Locke warned recently. "If we don't get our act together, we're going to be watching the capital, the businesses and the good-paying jobs end up someplace else. And 10 to 15 years from now, we're going to be saying, 'How did Shanghai become the Silicon Valley of clean energy?' " npr.org
