Yabby, it seems that you want to have the last word ? :-)

I reiterate. Building energy efficiency standards are important, but there are only a drop in the ocean of needs. The energy sector must totally transform to reverse the climate change. Sadly, they have rather focused on lobbying and corrupting research organisations and governments to do continue business as usual. I recommed a book by Amy Goodman titled 'Standing Up to the Madness' containing well documented examples of ExxonMobil or BP corruptive practices to deny climate changes.

That is about it. Thanks again.

It has been a pleasure to chat with you. There are a number of active posters on OLO who understand the issues wrought by exploitation of our natural resources, the need to progress industry into a sustainable rather than wasteful process and ditto economics. We can either be apart of change or remain wedged in 20th century thinking and practices - at our peril.

I hope to see you on another thread soon. Courteous posters are as precious as clean air.

Regards.

PS

Yabby always wants the last word. And if it makes him feel good, then why not?

;)

Sheesh, in that case I'd better have the last word....

Thanks Ammonite for your significant contribution to this thread.
