My paper is empty because you're offered nothing, just said some vague things about global politics. You need to have a global proposal and so far yours is "nothing". Now, shifting to the off-topic points you made ... Your point about China and India (and the US) is a good one. It's exactly why we're going to run out of liquid fuels soon: US usage is flat or even declining some while China and India are on exponential growth. Soon the oil market will implode from these pressures. When that happens there's a good scenario and a bad one. The good one is that the US becomes the World's new Saudi Arabia due to our natural gas supplies. That is, despite the massive costs, global truck and car fleets switch over to natural gas (with clean diesel in the meantime) and even hybrid natural gas. This second point, hybrid natural gas, will be needed because the electrical and heating supply will need a full shift to coal and natural gas as well while we wait the 15 years for new nuke plants to come online. (except France who already has them). Hybrids can take advantage of the cheaper hard line electricity supplies thus lowering needs for liquid fuels. Of course the bad scenario is that we wait until a crisis to do anything, but by then the economic pain is so intense that law and order breaks down for some long (5-10 years?) period of time. That, of course, makes building new infrastructure that much harder thus leaving large pieces of the US (and World) as lawless zones with little to no infrastructure and creating massive migrations to urban areas. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
