  Timeseries of environmental expenditure?

  That is disheartening... especially after hearing Branson and Google's pledges of a mere few billion between them, spread over the next decade or so, and being so excited by that.

  Dreaming about it the other way round though is still mind-blowing!

  Also, anyone have handy a report (or chart) on annual environmental expenditure by the US (I tried hard but couldn't find anything coherent), we hear about the budget being cut or increased but It'll be interesting to see a timeseries.

  For example you said in one of your articles there was a cut of about 4% to the environment budget in '06 but according to this report if I read correctly, there was a huge increase of about 42% in '05... a timeseries would help to make more sense of these annual fluctuations.

  great news!

  I think this is a great pioneering step forward, and hopefully it will do just as you say... cause a domino effect.

  ok then

  thomasrex...

  good point, if the timeframe can be extended that long then that would surely be a good thing, my main beef was the neglecting of this 'minor detail' of the whole 75 years... especially since if anything consumption will go up... but you're probably right that technology will improve and hopefully buy us some time.

  That said, even if I do hear a report that suggest Uranium could power our world for 10000 years I'll still back the sun. :)

  ahh the irony

  "Same way as oil is found, by looking for appropriate geological areas. Because this method had produced results before, there is confidence it will work again."

  so you plan to use up all the oil, then the Uranium... then what?

  I can see the headlines in 2050:
