It's a bit timid, and it seems to put a lot of emphasis on "new urbanism" as a comfortable alterna- tive to the energy-intensive suburban model. Personally I favor a more "rural lifeboat" approach. I wonder how our non-U.S. members see this issue -- if you lived in the suburbs of a huge city, say, 20 km outside Paris or Berlin, gasoline was 10X today's price, and the city was suffering from food shortages, infrastucture breakdown, daily power outages, etc., would you try to: a) move in closer, b) stay where you are, or c) get further out? -K _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
