absolutely true!  clean and renewable are dirty words only to the  shor 
sighted.  man can see ahead which is one of the few things  differentiating us 
from 
the lower forms. but we have to use it.  even  notwithstanding "junk science" 
like the DDT scares which resulted in its ban  which resulted in *more* 
deaths, plus todays bed bug reinfestation.   (dont stay in cheap hotels!!!!!)
 



Actually there were a lot of real reasons not to use DDT.  However, it  is 
still used on fruits and vegetables in South America, and we import a lot of  
that stuff...  Our wonderful chemical companies never lose sight of the  bottom 
line, so when something is banned here, they continue to sell it overseas  
(unless the overseas folks ban it also).  Chemical companies never intend  to 
sell anything that's bad for us; they just haven't had testing that  
effectively 
emulates long term exposure.  Today there are many more  options, and there 
are no excuses for releasing dangerous products, so when they  DO introduce 
such 
products, the only motivation is profit.
 
I like profit.  EVERYBODY wants profit, but profit should not preclude  being 
environmentally responsible.
