The lever principle in action - LOL

As so-called environmentalists jump on the technofix bandwagon, realists who believe we must begin by reducing energy consumption continue to be marginalized. Fittingly, we received an email with a visual metaphor demonstrating the folly of relying on technology to try to fix the problems caused by earlier technologies. As Albert Einstein noted, "Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them."

as a former emt, i was trained to beware that rescuers can easily wind up in need of rescue and so you must slow down and THINK before acting.
