What will use to get there solar powered space Yugos? In regards to free energy for a billion years, it has to be harnessed and that takes resources, which are finite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936637281134795592.post-89405039432139189182010-12-02T15:52:48.720-08:002010-12-02T15:52:48.720-08:00Infinite growth may be impossible with finite reso...Infinite growth may be impossible with finite resources, but a quick glance at the semiconductor industry should suggest that we are nowhere near reaching our technological (and thus, economic) potential.

Infinite growth is impossible in a world of finite resources. Try telling this to Michael Campbell or anyone else on CKNW!<br />Economics was described by my first professor as "the study of scarce resources".<br />We are being baffled with BS that allows a select few to become filthy rich by privatizing profits and socializing the costs. Whether these costs are debt, pollution, disease or death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936637281134795592.post-61906640259959501302010-12-02T05:33:17.846-08:002010-12-02T05:33:17.846-08:00How does every American not know this?
