>> As much as I care about global warming I don't think "stop using energy for technological advancement" is a credible position.
Call me a fanatic, but I’m very negative about embracing new shinies that hasten the devastation my children's generation will have to live with.
But, "Make it impossible to ignore the cost of technological advancement" is a credible position. A good first step would be an aggressive carbon tax.
