Re: Waste not, collapse not. (4.00 / 6)

About 6 or 7 years ago I was on a flight from Paris to the U.S. and I sat next to an American man who was returning from India. He was some kind of energy consultant; I no longer remember, perhaps atomic energy. I asked him how much of America's energy consumption was waste. He thought the U.S. could reduce its consumption by 25% without even noticing.

And if you did that by cutting down on the coal, you would eliminate much more than 25% of the greenhouse gas emissions.

Pity, humankind is so suicidal!
