And what do you suggest can be done to convince India and China to cripple their exploding economies by reducing consumption?

And how do you plan to feasibly introduce green energy for even 25% of the planet, much less all of it?

Ah yes, the old "the other guy does it so I do not have to change, too".

Here is the really frustrating part of it: Instead of spending all those billions in Irak, the US could have built/started to build, for less money nonethless, enough solar power plants to generate all the electricity required to run the country. Would have created new jobs, too. But who cares as long as big oil industry runs the country..

Where did I say the western world shouldn't work on changing their dependance on fossil fuel? A few posts earlier, I was ripping Numonex for being unreasonable and disregarding the potential of nuclear as a stop-gap between fossil fuels and renewable energy, which should be explored through geothermal, solar, and wind on local levels.

Next time you rebut my point, you should make sure it's one I'm trying to make.

And Iraq has nothing to do with any of this. That money is spent and gone.
