Well, I dunno. Rifkin doesn't usually get it wrong, he's been way ahead quite a few times. I haven't read the book. But I have been hearing about fuel cells being "just around the corner" for nearly 30 years now. They didn't say which corner. I think I did give some jewelry to a woman once. It didn't work out well so I didn't do it again. Oh, I did - I gave another woman about a million diamonds. She wasn't impressed at all, she lost them in the end. Okay, they were kind of small. Well, they were so small you needed a 20X lens to see they were diamonds. But they looked great through the lens, beautiful sparklers. Fussy, some people.
