Chirac warns of 'African flood'

So am I arguing that it's better for an African villager to plough with an ox than a tractor? Damn right I am, we should be learning how to do it here too, the oil won't last for ever and biodiesel is a laughable idea, there's a negative energy balance in producing it. Whitedog, the core of the difference in our discussion is now clear. You believe we should use less energy, while I believe we should produce more if we need or want it. This is an unbridgeable difference. It is a matter of opinion. I agree that some energy sources are going to be depleted, but I believe that we will develop other energy sources in time when needed. And that's the end of this discussion. Everybody has to make up his own mind. Africans and non-Africans alike will have to decide whether they want to use tractors or not. I believe that they have already decided what they want. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |
