Reading this and similar reports, I get the same feeling I did when I first was exposed to Reich's work. The feeling has been the same every time I've seen work in this vein:
What is the characteristic of impact that will occur to the ecosystem? If we are drawing electricity / energy that is being brought about via the ecosystem, then what how will drawing that potential off impact it? it seems like it will be a "lower-profile" impact that will thus occur over a longer space of time. This could minimize impact, though make measuring footprint more difficult. It would be nice to think that this perspective would invigorate a new direction of systems reserach and make us more conscious of the way things work. The unfortunate alternative is that we arrive at another critical limit as we are now with coal pollution - with people outraged at the energetic vampirism that we would then be wreaking upon the planet. other perspectives?
