Re: Are Biofuels the Answer?

ctyankee in King G. W. s' Court,

I'll see your litre of desalientated water and raise you two kilos of genetically modified food stuffs!

Over population beckons the harbinger of resource short comings. I do not consider myself a pessimist, yet optimism seems as of late an evasive creature. Two hundred years in this exponentially accelerating world is a LONG time. Viral contagions compounded by rising density and compromised human immune systems will play a role in the future. Genetic mutations and variants will also have an impact on overall human health.

I believe the tipping point is not that far away and as we all know, when it is reached it will be too late. What can we do in the interim? You said it, CONSERVE! Yes, a ten percent reduction would buy us more time. Also, if we could just look within ourselves and ask if we really need something to make our "lives" better to facilitate better judgement and avoid consuming everything that gets in our way, what a difference that would make!

To get the GREENROOTS ,for lack of a better word, off the ground. We must collectively hound our local, state and federal representatives incessantly. I do, and little 'ol me likes to believe I have accomplished a goal, from the replies I recieve.

I educate and guide my children daily to espouse the ideologies of conservation. They and their progeny will be the ones picking up the tab and I for one, don't want my great great grandchildren looking back in disbelief, denouncing their heritage because of my actions!
