Thanks Lisa...should I be happy and pleased to learn that things are even
worse than I thought because it supports my case ?? Sad, isn't it ...:-)
BTW thanks for posting the David Crockett Williams input to Strategic Plan
2000. I found it very interesting, especially the move to try and convince us
that natural gas is somehow 'clean'...
As an after-thought re Jim's remark..

And what would be the ethical implications of that ? I mean, humans trashing
something, the biosphere, that has taken , what is it ? 4.5 thousand million
years ? to develop into the splendour that we found...and we manage to wreck
it all, over just a couple of centuries because of sheer stupidity ? What does
that say about us ?
