I dont believe there nations Soverignty was at stake, so I cant really justify it. I think the allies were already winning the war, It was kind of over the top.

Its just unrealistic to power the world off of Solar/Wind. Nuclear power is high risk high reward, and as dangerous as it is we are going to need to advance this technology further to support space flight in the next 200 years.

Alberta's Triumph. The oilsands benefit not just Alberta but all of Canada. It has changed the standard of living for all canadians. Without it Canada would be a Broke and underfunded country like Poland. Besides its probably a better idea to Drill in northern alberta than say the ocean or the arctic.

I suppose its interesting to note what resources are to be had. For instance it would not be worth Teraforming/Colonizing Mars because earth would have to support it like a child. Mars would never be self sufficient and would always need the support of earth to be a working colony. We would always need to ferry over Tools, Material and Manpower. However with an "Eden Prime" type scenario it would be much easier to Colonize, and leave them to develop the land.

Id like to assume I have evidence backing up my opinion but sometimes people just suprize you. I honestly have nothing to say about Alfred Denning without reading his wiki.
