Good for them. I've lived in many other countries and I've noticed how many of them that are supposed to be considered middle class earners are living no better than our poverty level. And I am including European countries in that statement. It is very easy to compare our GIANT country to the tiny countries that are able to live successfully in a socialist economy, where the gov controls everything from power to transportation. We do not have the mass transit infrastructure of those small countries. We are spread out and folks drive an hour plus each way to work every day, NOT ten minutes a few blocks away or a quick train ride to work. Americans have no patience and attempt to put the cart before the horse in many issues. Before you can power transportation or environmental conditions you must first understand and produce the power needed for those conditions. It's all about sufficient power and right now we have the machinery but not the adequate power. It's all about resources.
And I still don't think that man can do anything to control the world's climate control or change the so-call global warming or cooling. Unless, man decides to build huge domes to cover populated areas where they can have climate control.
Global Warming? Ok, so what? I enjoy warm, even hot weather. I doubt, I'll be around to see enough temp change to make a difference in my lifestyle. I'll leave all the worries to the Z generation, if they even have the intelligence to think given the drop in education quality in this country.
