But supply is probably the answer.

Welcome back Julius. Are you going to rejoin us in politics thread as well?


US effect on growing demand is minimal compared to the effect that China and India are having. In other words, we're using today pretty much what we were using yesterday. But the Chinese aren't. And that's fine. Let them use it. Grow grow grow. Big economies are good. Poor people make rich dictators. Burn every fossile fuel we can get our hands on. Nuke the whales. Screw the snails. And burn down the owls' trees. Within limits, of course. The market is our savior. Is Algore still wasting electricity at a record pace? I haven't read a newspaper in a few days.
