Russia's got a lot of natural resources, but you don't think there's any sort of political manipulation involved in how high they keep the prices?
Fuck dude, the only reason we're not all driving eco-friendly cars and shit now is because NONE of the corporations banking off the fossil fuel industry want to give up their profit margins until they've exhausted the fossil fuels. The ideas and technology are already here and within our grasp, the reasons these things are being turned down, "kept in the closet" so to speak, are mostly political, and I suppose in some broader sense you could say economic as well.
I don't think globalizing things so that people all over the world have an increased level of access to resources is wrong, I'm opposed to global monopoly, which I feel is what things are shifting towards. Call it gut feeling, intuition or what ever, this is happening real time.
Some of you might think I'm some kind of paranoid, basement-dwelling nut job, and I hope to fucking God that you're right (but since I'm neither paranoid, nor live in a basement, I suppose you'd be wrong). I'd be able to live much easier knowing that I was just crazy and that these things weren't actually happening.
