OK, but do you really want a drab, dreary, joyless world where nobody
celebrates anything in case it generates some CO2? *Where we leave our homes
unheated?


Why would you want to do that?

Do you really want every fountain switched off? *


The one at Chatsworth is quite spectacular and doesn't need any
electrical power as I understand it.

Christmas trees with no lights? *


Perfect application for rechargeable solarpowered LED lights. The
nones in may garden still work in winter.

Every light in every city switched off, apart from basic street
lights?


No, only most the ines that are totally unneccessary need to be
switched off.

Should we close down the cinemas, the museums and the art galleries? *They
generate CO2, you know.


So does posting to Usenet.

Do you want to live in the 18th century (but without any coal, of course)?


We have plenty of coal.


I hate the very thought of such a drab world, I'll tell you that for sure..


The only things missing are imagination, vision and some long term
strategic planning.
