I would like to see the links tsc and of course I agree completely with the spirit of what you are saying - which is why I'm so against nuclear energy as a solution to 'our' ever growing need to consume more energy. Personally I feel its a gloomy scenario, I can't see a way through it at all - I just hope the children of today will grow up to think differently, if we can get them back out into the woods to learn about and appreciate the natural world.
