As to cement and steel, there is the small thing that these goods are very heavy and extremely expensive to transport over long distances - thus made mostly locally everywhere, with a few exceptions for highly specialised goods. Heck, cement is still made right in the middle of Paris (right under my windows) - on the banks of the river. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
(Unfortunately, the NZ government just gutlessly bowed to pressure from the business and farming sectors and canned its proposed carbon tax. They still claim they will meet our Kyoto obligations - but with two years to go and no policy, it's difficult to see how).
