The Great Hulking American Neanderthal, spawn of over 200 years of force-feeding for the express purpose to exploit North America’s easy resources for the Capitalist purses of this world can hardly be expected to use better terminology than to classify any opposed to his continuance as “Idiot”! In fact, China now threatens with the “Population Bomb”. They face an aging workforce and a growing elderly population and sanctified “Elder” population. Their suggested solution: Allowing two off-spring per couple for a generation to refurbish, rejuvenate, their workforce! What does this do to the Great Hulking American Neanderthal? With his dollar’s value falling like a stone on world’s markets and the Chinese Yuan very strong and well respected, trusted, it means that his U.S. dollar will no longer be able to command the 80 % of world’s resources he depends on for survival, and he will have to share world resources with his Oriental counter-part! In simple terms, the “Idiot” will starve in the darkness of unsustainability while his “Rice and Veggies” Asian counter-part still lives to eat, albeit rice! Remember: Oil is finite in supply in this World – any shared with a booming Asian population will subtract from the Great Hulking American Neanderthal’s share! He will pay what Asians can pay, or do without – ask any Arab Financier! Simple math! He cannot possibly bomb, threaten, cajole, or otherwise squirm his way out of the facts of life on this planet! Next, Let’s consider the unregulated population explosion in India and it’s effect on the Great Hulking American Neanderthal! Takes his food in a day, to feed twelve of these vegans, comfortably! He loses automatically, on the sustainability card alone! What is more, Indians have a huge pool to develop an intelligentsia from! And they have! They produce more Post-Graduate Engineers than America has high-school students – every year!
The Great Hulking American Neanderthal just may realize that every time he points his finger at someone, three of his own fingers point back at him! Then his hegimoniously, xenophobic ways will subside and he will see clearly he is at an unsustainable disadvantage in this world of today, stuck with a WWII style Military the World has ever known, yet losing the war on the economic battle-front with the Asian Fact! Poor asshole! All prepared to win WWII and his dollar is crashing the gates of Hell on its way to a total crash, gently controlled from Asian Stock-Markets by his own Capital, manipulated by no less than his own Capitalists – looking as always for ROI gains at all costs – even the U.S. dollar, as they hide safely in Chinese “Yuan” on Beijing, Shanghai and Hang Seng stock markets. They are safe in Yuan and bleeding the last blood from this great beast – the Great Hulking American Neanderthal! And rightly so! He was dumbed down and bred for expressly that purpose! Idiot indeed!

Even if I don’t agree on everything the Greens say (on nuclear) I have to say that Herr Fell is right on how we have to change the way we regard energy.

We consume a lot without much efforts done on efficiency and conservation, which could enable us to consume much less.

Cleantech is great, but they won’t do the trick without decreasing our energy consumption habits. I am sure we can do both.

As you point out, we have changed a lot in 20 years, we can do it again. Many thanks Tom for this compelling article !

Best regards from France.

A timely post as the Senate Energy and Natl Resources Committee is working through the energy bill today, and more specifically renewable standards.

Thank you for this article. I am in the process of reading Mr. Fell’s report, which you have kindly linked in your article. It is certain that many changes are both necessary and in the works globally to establish a more secure and less mercurial standard of energy and global finance. Thanks again for highlighting this report.
