Dear Jacob, in any economic sense ressources are not finite. I highly recommend Simon's "The ultimate Ressource" on this matter.

And the fact that it needed to be said has in my view been confirmed by the reaction from established environmental "science" (going for the man, not the ball) What environmentalists need to do fisrt and foremost are to learn that resources are not infinite (actually, it's almost amusing that THEY can't see that), and that they therefore need to "price" the environment like any other thing: Because thus is the only way to make infinite demands (including environmental needs) be met by finite resources. That�s more or less my five cents on the subject. - jacob braestrup > Howdy, > > As ad hominem arguments fly around the internet, I > seem unable to get an impartial opinion.
