To the powers that be...CSP and EGS are the only two UNLIMITED sources of clean baseload power available with today's tech.CSP can support an all electric world and can help reduce negative albedo by use of billions of mirrors after its decommissioning.EGS can support thousands of such global populations!Then, all countries will become part of a true space based race. Only then will there be evolutionary success past pretentious and greedy human nature...

You're not being bullied here and to the extent we're talking past each other is a result of you not wishing to be candid about the nature of capitalism.I agree, love should guide us, but the expression of love is liberty, not government control. If you want to love your fellow man then let him live free, uncoerced, and secure in the property he produces by his own efforts.

Mr. Sunfalcon, I prefer to stop this discussion, I see that you are not interacting at all with me. I hope you can with others. I don't like being bullied. It's painfull and not leading to understanding of one another. Goodbye and let love guide you

Capitalism is a politico-economic system based on private ownership of the means of production and in which the powers of the state are limited to the protection of the individuals rights against the initiation of physical force. There is, in other words, no capitalist system existing in this world right now. There hasn't been since the U.S. abandoned the system around the turn of the 20th century. Government intervention is what is causing the crisis to attribute to modern capitalism.

Human greed for me, emerges as a result of human frustration due to a lack of love, happinez and/or means of living. Capitalism to me is in essention just a form to regulate trade and spread goods around the world more easily. Capitalism now destroys billions of money, thousands of good firms and factory's. That is not rewarding, it's punishing people who serve society. Governements were erected because of the inhuman crises that modern capitalism creates. Don't be mislead, let Love guide you...

Human greed is a constant. Capitalism bends human greed to the common good by rewarding those who serve society economically. The systems we have now are corrupted, but not because of capitalism. Rather, the source of the corruption is government which interferes with capitalism by redistributing wealth, regulating excessively, and paying off special interests.

Market capitalism has become corrupted because it is dominated by greed and not by responsibility. Live is not only about money, so don't let money rule. Money is the most common course of war, hate & fight around the world. Yet another argument to stop that one-issue thinking. Government is a part and of course each individual is a part of the solution. Social and Individual freedom have to be as important as Capitalism.

Within 10 years? Than you have to stimulate it more than the market can, have to give it a boost, like in Germany the feed-in tax does at the moment. And as a spin-off Germany is now the biggest exporter of sustainable stuff in the world! If Obama/America wants change, it better changes good and you better hurry up now! No time to wait, leave the oil-addiction, downscale, work together, live ecological, live social. We will walk beside you - Adri from Holland, land of wind and water.
