It's amazing to think that 100 years ago there were more electric cars on the road than combustion engine. The technology is and always has been there. The problem with modern society is everyone wants more,more,more. More money, more things e.g telescopes eye pieces (how many members here in this forum have several scopes and dozens of eye pieces and more than one car and more than one house and more than a couple of pairs of shoes and more than one bank account and more than one job and,and ,and.... we are all guilty of wanting more) Who has more than one tv in the house? The list is endless. The planet could house 6 billion or more people but not 6 billion greedy people not even 500 million greedy people and there's a lot more than 500 million greedy people out there. The stock market is not a good thing as all the businesses there need to make more money every year for their share holders so do the planet a favour and sell everything you own and go live in a cave for the next 50 years and all will be well with the world. We humans are quick to adapt to change and we may survive global warming in less numbers but that may not be a bad thing as there will be lots more stuff for those that are left to have and we can start the buying cycle all over again.
