[RTC List] Bringing Delta Airlines to the Eureka/Arcata Airport

[Arkley, Rob]

Dear Michael,
    Good Lord.  You are grim.  Things will work out.  Sustainable
solutions will happen when, and if, we create the incentives to find
them.  Regulations will never create solutions.  You seem to like
minimization, regulation and conservation.  Those are all well and good,
but you can't shrink, conserve and regulate your way out of these
issues.  Freedom will create the solutions.
    Man can and will be great.  Keep the faith.  



                         Vty,



                         Rob

Hi John. I just got new computer technology from Renaissance, which
significantly lowered the amount of energy my office consumes.

But please note that my entire office is run by photovoltaic modules, so
while it behooves me to save energy wherever I can, we are making more
energy than we consume.

The solutions are energy efficiency, energy conservation, and renewable
energy. 

Again, we have to figure out how to make human existence on Earth
sustainable, or the humanity is SOL.
