Reply #77: I just finished Lovelock's latest book

[stuntcat]

In the beginning I hated how he seemed to say nuclear energy is our only way out, but by the end of the book I have to agree.. we need a LOT of energy, more than we can get from clean renewables just yet, and we need to switch right NOW away from burning the fossil fuels.
I didn't know that "Gaia" was originally Lovelock's idea.. I think of Earth as a beautiful living being but I did it without Lovelock I think. Anyway I'm on the Earth's side, I think it can chew us up and spit us out and in a few thousand years be beautiful again.
At least I didn't bring any new lil' babies into this century from hell :) I'm glader every day I made that decision, even if some of my family's gonna hold it against me for the rest of their fat pathetic lives :p
