[Greenbuilding] what will be in 500 years/bang or whimper?

[Alan Abrams]

Reuben, LL--

Now that the conversation has drifted completely loose from its green
building moorings...why not blow it farther off course...and ask, is not
just as likely that some future disaffected party, believing *their* martyrs
will enjoy *thrice* 75 virgins in their afterlife, will get its misanthropic
finger on the trigger of the Z bomb, or nano bomb, or whatever our spooks
are working on up in Los Alamos...

Sigh, back to work...

<I agree with much of what you say, LL, but let's not forget food. We need
top soil, rain, and sunshine in roughly the familiar proportions and
locations and times to continue growing the foods we are accustomed to>
