Baby steps. Eventually we will have a world wide d.c. grid where the
sun will shine and the wind will blow somewhere on the planet
during your summer, autumn,, spring, winter and night.

Unlikely. We don't want to co-operate with our nearest neighbours, so
why think a world wide agreement possible?

Well our language is closer to American than it is French or German.

I sometimes wonder about that.

I prefer american spelling to German.


Maybe you should ask why we have been at war with our closest
neighbours more than with our fathest neighbours.

Because moving troops and supplies etc has only (relatively) recently
become easy?

yes well we have the EU, didn't have that in Roman times.

I wonder how far way the war on terror is.
