    Just as there are far-reaching costs of avoiding many environmentalist efforts, the same costs that others have been pointing out more concisely for years now.

    and i don't dream wildly enough to believe i could change your mind.

    you're old enough to remember the ozone, right? remember when it was "world consensus" that we were going to cause an ice-age in our life-times by depleting the ozone? what happened to that?

    don't get me wrong. im for traditional environmentalism (not dumping hazardous waste into rivers, finding ways to better treat and dispose of waste, etc.). but, i do think that the modern environmentalist movement is basically the astrology of the 21st century.
