Lost Opportunities

Ever heard the argument that resources such as oil or coal should be used today because not using them would be wasteful?  It's a peculiar argument, since it's used as a justification for not pursuing solar, wind or other renewable resources.  What is really being wasted after all?  Is it wasteful to leave oil or coal in the ground?  Or is it wasteful to not soak up the abundant energy provided by the sun?  The oil and coal will wait, the solar wind won't.

By the way, the blog has a new URL, tech.norabble.com.  Unfortunately Google support never came through to fix the problems with terabble.com.  Unfortunate that my worst experience with Google happens to be the one time I've given them money.
