Ambiance of Well-Being: debate

From Scarcity to Abundance

Welcome to the Ambiance of Well-Being ! Here we will focus on Abundance. How to tune into the frequency of positive energy, and create an environment of health, wealth, and abundance.
Buckminster Fuller said during our 1st Energy Crisis in the 1970's. "There Is No Energy Crisis, There is a Crisis of Ignorance". The Information Age is moving us away from the scarcity mentality of the Industrial Era, and has the opportunity to bring to the masses the truth of how the universe works through abundance. The internet can be the perfect vehicle to break through this ignorance, and bring the truth to light. We will strive to show how "Going Green" and focusing on renewable, and alternative energies will build an atmosphere of an abundant healthy environment.

Let's create a Better world together!

The Economist Debate on the Global Energy Crisis

There is an interesting debate going on over at The Economist.com. What is interesting about the current debate which began on August 19th is that, basically, both sides are essentially saying the same thing. The only apparent difference seems to be that the PRO side wants to ignore funding for innovation right now and concentrate on utilizing current technologies, while the CON side believes we should fully fund both, putting current technologies into production NOW, and fully funding promising innovations.

The Pro side is represented by Joseph J. Romm, Senior Fellow at the Centre for American Progress, and the Con side is represented by Peter Meisen, President, Global Energy Network Institute (GENI). The debate statement being discussed is: "We can solve our energy problems with existing technologies today, without the need for breakthrough innovations."

The opening statements and rebuttals both present interesting viewpoints, but the real gem for me, so far, has been the wealth of information in the comments section. I highly recommend giving this a look.
