You missed the point I was trying to make, albeit my argument was a bit
flawed. 6 billion people not only breathing but trying to get to a
higher standard of living which means they will be using fossil fuel or
burning whatever to power their newly acquired toys. Only about a
billion, maybe more, maybe less, have cars but as that changes upward we
will have that much more. And don't forget that all these people will
want electricity to power their newly acquired cars, televisions, etc.

Too many threads and groups on this subject.
