Wasteful Attitude

Wasteful Attitude

<The> statement "The idea is to take an abundant resource such as coal and gasify it" is typical of the wasteful attitudes prevalent in our culture. I have heard it said that we have a 200-year supply of "abundant" coal. Well oil was discovered about 150 years ago and the "abundant" supply of oil is just about gone. Every reference to our coal supply should include a reference to the incredibility-limited time we have left before only renewable energy resources will be left.
