Re: Don't make any Long Term Plans...
Don't worry, we'll never run out of energy, we'll keep finding ways to make more of it (hydrogen fuel, Fusion, etc) We could even learn to use the power that makes the earth's core hot. We'll run out of Food and space first. Just because you can go to McDonald's and get 2 double cheese burgers, fries and a drink for 5.99… -

[ QUOTE ] All we can do is prolong the time we have and use it to reduce our usage more and more, there is no magical plan the hero can pull off that will save the world. The article is a bit too US-centric for my tastes, though. Where I live public transport and especially the railroad system work pretty well. We're using… -

[ QUOTE ] Obviously, there is no hope and the only solution is to kill ourselves now. [/ QUOTE ] It's really depressing to have to keep telling people this. And verm, I'm ashamed of you for not realizing it. You don't kill yourself, you kill other people. Frank the Avenger -
