[QUOTE="simme, post: 1771284, member: 40418"] One of the issues is that we waste so much. Many of our resources have a limited supply in the short term. Took millions of years to make those fossil fuels. We tend to use resources like there is an unlimited supply. Reported that we have a few hundred years of coal and about 50 years of oil at current usage rates. What happens then? Aluminum, copper and iron - what happens when we dig it all up? We can calculate how much electricity we need to replace oil, but I am sure that there are opportunities to use less energy regardless of source. How many people drive to the store for one or a few items many times per week or even per day? How much stuff gets buried in landfills that could be recycled? How much energy could be saved with better planning? Do people use the most efficient vehicle for most of their travel? People tend to have bigger houses to be heated and cooled than 50 years ago. There are lots of opportunities probably. [/QUOTE]
