Where are you getting "poorer"? Switching off of fossil carbon = many new divisions of labour, lots of business replacing/extending/building infrastructure. It would be very difficult for that not to make people much better off. (Never mind the whole "pollute less = healthier" thing.) -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
