Our future economy ... ( 2 months ago by ronnaneil)
Our future economy and our competitive position in the world will depend on inexpensive and abundant energy. Energy is the basis of all of the world's economies. The country that has the lowest cost of clean energy will have a significant leg up in the future world economy.The source of energy for most of the economies in the world today is oil,coal and natural gas. These are are purchased on a worldwide market. We all pay the going rate we all have the same basic cost of energy.

very interesting ... ( 1 month ago by maiyahi1)
very interesting idea. but we live in a political world where you can not force your ideas on a person. so even if we change our leader to be more eco friendly if our lifestyle don't change we would not follow the laws he passes down. and like you said the world is flat but growing at a uncontrollable rate small towns soon become large metropolises. its a flat world with walls separating us from them until we all believe to become eco friendly changing one leader would do us no good.
