it's nice to have people like Megan Quinn looking at the problems looming over the world. unfortunately, most people are concerned with the selfish and narrow issues of their own lives. meanwhile, the environmentalists in the USA will have to fill the tax revenue gap of the traditional petroleum industry they wish to kill. and one more, perhaps the last, basic industry in the USA gets shutdown and sent overseas. the problem people is overpopulation. if we keep breeding, there is no solution.
