[Greenbuilding] [BULK] Re: Towards a sustainable future

[Lawrence Lile]

"Is it possible that Bush, having squandered all but the dregs of the
"political capital" he won with his "mandate" of 2004--will try to pawn
what
remains of that capital, by jumping on the environmental wagon? "

Naa.  Here is a translation:

 "The Nucular [sic] Power Plants we make now will shape our business
opportunities far into the future. The cities, Nucular power plants and
homes we build today will either lock us into a damaging pattern of
Under-consumption, eventually misunderminerating [sic] our society as we
know it, or they could help us move, not towards utopya, [sic] (who'd
want that?) but towards a future where oil companies start making
hydergen [sic] from the scarce fossil fuels that are left, and can wage
their own wars as effectively as nations can today. If we make the pie
higher, ah - Fool me once, fool me twice, oh whatever."

into a
damaging pattern of over-consumption, eventually undermining our society
as
we know it, or they could help us move, not towards utopia, but towards
a
sustainable future * one that allows us to live in balance with nature."
