Mathematical proof exists that the predictive power of what happens on the market is strong in the beginning, but then diminishes quickly. And you kow how quickly ? It is completely gone after 15 ........ minutes.
So much for TA.

And why is this true ? Because until now we have failed to see the earth and ecosystems we 100% depend on as a valuable good, and have not based our tax system on this understanding.
If you're looking at numbers only and forget life's minor details such as human beings, happiness, love, children, responsability, ethics, etc., I'm sute this article has some value.

As for nuclear energy: the only thing that makes sense to me is to use renewable energy sources. The price of putting them to use will decrease and keep decreasing over over time, which cannot be said about any finite source, fossile or other. Uranium is just a way of putting off what we'll need to do soner or later. Sooner is better for us and for the planet. ]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 12:07:36 -0400

If they wanted to move in the first place, which is doubtful.
As for INdia taking over the miles not driven: let's face it, we in the EU and the US have for decades been obcneley wealthy and wasteful. And now we should continue destrying this planet because we can't allow India or China to have an advantage ? How penny wise is that ? You guys donlt have children ?
As for socialism: I live in Holland. Better social laws, better health coverage, more liberal laws on drugs with infinite better results, fewer people in prison, less cime, better environment laws, better economy.
Don't get me wrong, I love the US. And IMO its only chance of not going down the drain in all ways is called Obama. Oil is over, better be among the first to make the transfer.
