synopsis: jeremy rifkin talks about the end of the world as we know it
a long, imho very interesting talk on how things are, and will most likely become in the very near future

leaves a bit of a bitter taste in the mouth when i think of all those international shipments i'm feeding
on the other hand, at least as collectors of vintage stuff, we're recycling...

I hope those in power are waking up to what this guy is saying. He's also advised Portugal and France too. His ideas for localised energy that can be stored and shared out are very interesting, and all this is achievable imho but for short-sighted global greed/profit. If not then it's a very bleak picture.
Cheers for posting the link,
