problutions i'm not real big on bitching about problems. and not proposing any solutions. yesterday i bitched about a problem. specifically doing nothing other than letting the free market solve the energy/food/water/pollution/population problems. which will lead to war and famine. the solution is simple. do these two things: 1) slow/stop the world's population growth. easier said than done. it means embracing and promoting contraception. it's the solution. not the problem. the problem here is contraception goes against god's command to multiply. we're going to need the popes et al to listen to what god is saying now. today. cause it's different from what god was saying 6000 years ago. global warming is the heat of god's anger. it's a warning. we need to stop doing what's displeasing him. lest his anger turn to wrath. and he kills everyone but the people who got the message and built an arc. 2) we need to bring online a terawatt of solar and nuclear power. not because it's green. not because our addiction funnels half a billion dollars a day to terrorists in the middle east. but simply because fossil fuels are on the decline. the ship is sinking. we do not want to go down with it. we need to switch over to something that can lift the load as oil fails. the good news is solar usage is growing at 30% per year. the bad news is we're starting so close to zero. it will take 40 years to get solar output to a terawatt. assuming solar keeps growing faster than any industry in the history of the world. 40 years of a stagnant/shrinking economy. 40 years where the economy just doesn't give a shit if the president is red or blue. well then. that's all we have to do. it really is that simple. to state anyway.  ¶ 8:00 AM
