John Robson does a fine job reminding us that real environmental progress comes from capitalists:
It’s opera. My wife is listening to opera while jogging. The heroine will, one assumes, come to a tragic end. But the batteries won’t, because she’s using a digital player. On which, I trust, I can record the sound of environmentalists applauding the technological advances capitalism brings.
We’ll wait for the applause, but somehow I’m just not hearing it.
China and India will likely improve fairly quickly. They prefer not to pay the state penalty for smog ridden cities.
Winning the *Oil End Game* is no longer a mystery.

No Phillip, DEMOCRACY is the enabler of environmentalism. Capitalism is not the same as democracy. Until the mid 60’s there was virtually no difference between East and West when it came to lack of environmental concern. It was the environmental movement in the West which forced governments to act and pass legislation FORCING manufacturers to meet environmental standards.
How typically hypocritical of the right wing to complain about the environmental movement then try to take credit for their accomplishments.

I have a life, unlike some of you losers sitting in your parent’s basement all day and reading every last word on SDA. So go laugh it up.
Your *facts* have been Gored often and thoroughly. Don*t let that make you bitter.
Anyone is welcome to state fact and back it with respected links.
Name calling is just a hissy fit of frustration. Sometimes your arguments present some pretty good thinking.
Using the term *losers* suggests you are pouting. Don*t pout. = TG
TG:
I’m surprised that you would be so supportive of corporations who have prevented the marketing of the electric car.
Touche. It is Corporate nature to go after excessive advantage and excessive profit.
Just as it is human nature.
Corporations have also done great good.
You have to take one with the other.= TG
Speaking of excellent links. Here is the future from those who have their hands on the controls.
