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

Where Eric, Jerome, I, and various others disagree with you, Jake, and various others (I will not do you the disservice of bracketing you with Thomas the cornucopian sf fan) is that we identify a finite-planet resource problem which precedes (and, arguably, triggers) the financial crisis, and is a graver problem in the long run.

So you think that JakeS in particular doesn't belong to the group of people who identify a finite-planet resource problem which precedes (and, arguably, triggers) the financial crisis, and is a graver problem in the long run?

Clearly that's wrong. From his comments, Thomas is also mightily worried about climate change and fossil carbon energy technologies (though some people involved with wind consider him a troll), so he might also be in that group.

Therefore what distinguishes you, Jerome and Eric from Jake, Thomas and me can only be that you identify a finite-planet resource problem which precedes (and, arguably, triggers) the financial crisis, and is a graver problem in the long run.
