$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'M')ove manufacturing back home to America? Stop sending all the good jobs to China. Fix the country for the new energy paradigm and rebuild our suburbs with mass transit and urban growth zones, solar credits and rebates, energy tax on oil products, get serious about population control.
But why bother, we have made our bed and we must lie in it. It is much too late on the depletion curve (see Hirsch) to mitigate with conservation, fuel-switching, or urban or suburban redesign. so have fun. beat up on the cornies.
So then what? You just want to do absolutely nothing? Even if we couldn't avoid a "crash" entirely, don't you think we should still do as much as possible to make as much difference as possible?
