Re: finite world/resource depletion

	Just for the record, PHR's arguments in today's exchange with
	JBOD, get JJG's vote hands down.  JB is not taking the
	risk avoidance economic stimulus approach that makes sense
	in these precincts.

	On a related point, the new issue of Scientific American offers
	eloquent testimony to a marriage between upbeat  techno-
	optimists and the heart and soul of the environmental movement.

	Not that most in the movement will buy the romantic notions
	of invention and gee whiz in the SA issue.  But many who do
	like SA are solid citizens with environmental movement credentials.
	The special issue is great fun to read -- I especially like the Rosen
	automotive drive train and the personal submarines-- hope they
	succeed.
