Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Water may not be everywhere but human beings are everywhere and electricity needs to follow them. Not just everywhere but at all times. If 50% (the theoretical maximum which wind can provide) isn't good enough then what makes you think 1% is?

And what makes you think the guys who are investing in geothermal (or wind or anything else really) are looking for a way to power humanity? They aren't. They're looking to make some money, that's all.

Your Gaia obsession is not endearing in the least. It only makes me feel like I'm being massively stupid for taking a schizophrenic seriously. Please stop or tell me I'm wasting my time.

richardk this is a interesting dairy and would be even more so if you please could stop insulting people who do not fit into your way of seeing the world.

If you described a right-winger as uncaring of justice, would this be an insult? No, it would be a tautology. Describing magical thinkers ("intuitionists") as mentally handicapped is not an insult, it's a tautology. None of this is "my way of seeing the world", what it is is FACT. Verifiable and documented.

And I find YOUR way of seeing the world, and especially your way of degrading documented facts to the status of mere opinion, to be insulting in the extreme. What does it say about you if you claim to care so much about insults yet you freely offer them to others? It says you're a liar and a hypocrite. But then that's the problem with being an intellectual relativist, it's an inherently hypocritical point of view. Because it's self-contradictory nonsense and the mere pretense that it's meaningful is automatically a lie.

You might also like to consider your double standard of liking a diary I wrote with the express goal of destroying lies and prevarication, of destroying the cornucopians' and marketroids' "way of seeing the world" and then of whining and complaining when I turn around and do the same thing to your friends. You don't get to use truth selectively, as a weapon aimed only at your enemies. And if you choose to then don't expect me to be so shallow.
