Hi guys

I recently had a interesting discussion with my bro about the unsustainable consumption of the earth's resources. Main culprits to us was the US, followed closely by the european union. Unless a radical move towards enviro friendly fuel production was achieved in the short term, then the consequences will be a major fall out between the EU and US some point in the future over oil distribution and if that doesnt lead to war then we will all be drowned by the melting ice caps a wee bit down the line.

It seems to me that possibly the worst thing that could have happened to upset the equilibrium of the globe has been the demise of the USSR. At least we had some sort of balance back then.

I look forward to your thoughts.
