 Actually, the party’s just beginning. It’s just a different kind of party, but it’s one that will be no less fun. Building a whole new kind of world, seeing how you can live well and put out less carbon, well what’s cooler than that? Lots of opportunities to think outside the box, and many of them a lot of people are going to make a lot of money out of as well. Like maybe heat pumps for home heating. They exist, but the creative engineering on them has just barely begun. Actually, the party’s just beginning. It’s just a different kind of party, but it’s one that will be no less fun.

 +There should be a gallery that collects, displays, and sifts such works over centuries and millennia, and develops ways to preserve them. That is exactly Burtynsky's plan - a 10,000-year Gallery to accompany the 10,000-year Clock. -- http://www.longnow.org/projects/seminars/

 +a photovoltaic panel manufacturing plant can be made energy-independent by using energy derived from its own roof using its own panels. Such a plant becomes not only energy self-sufficient but a major supplier of new energy, hence the name solar breeder.

 +Objections to [Al Gore's idea to Make All US Electricity From Renewable Sources] cannot be framed as support of a status quo, because the status quo doesn't exist.  Nor can it be framed as against a free market, as OPEC is a cartel. It needs be to be framed as the costs of doing something as opposed to the population-crushing costs of doing nothing.
