Michael Klare writes: "If we don't abandon a belief that unrestricted growth is our inalienable birthright and embrace the genuine promise of renewable energy (with the necessary effort and investment that would make such a commitment meaningful), the future is likely to prove grim indeed. Then, the history of energy, as taught in some late twenty-first-century university, will be labeled: How to Wreck the Planet 101."

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

Too much power and too little brain.
Cancer cells don't follow either law and overconsume and kill the world where they live (i.e. you)
And none seem wise enough to realize most "shortages" are parlayed to raise the value, ie the price, of the "limited" and, of course, "essential" resources.
This is straight out of basic texts on influence and persuasion.
Duh.
That will solve all these problems including water, nuclear waste disposal, the high cost of fuel and the political ramifications of buying it from despots, and global warming caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
