Well Rob I think the issue that's never mentioned but is core to the
problem of energy usage is capitalism. That's the way it works it relies
on
constant growth and greater output -whether we need it or not.

Please point us to a copy of Pravda where the Russian communist regime
were pleased to announce a reduction in output of the state tractor
and combine harvester factories.

Sorry Paul I don't think I made my point very well. I've consistently
believed that it was capitalism that dragged us all out of the Dark Ages, my
point was though that the way it has to work is based on ever expanding
growth, and increased consumerism that for me is the part we have to grasp.
Communism as we've all experienced so far has produced nothing but
ideologically driven disaster. We're seeing a bit of Stalin's Five year
plans in NHS targets at the moment.
