I note that the words "peak oil" and "global warming" appear nowhere in Greg Lindsay's "Rise of the Aerotropolis." As I see it, an aerotropolis is a multibillion-dollar infrastructure balancing precariously on a petro-dependent air-freight industry, to accelerate the creation of a planetwide sweatshop producing gewgaws for Wal-Mart.
And it is doomed. Oil-fueled, growth-dependent megacorporations, militaries, and governments are dinosaurs, frantically mating in their desperate attempts to survive, and producing monstrous offspring such as aerotropoli. Wasting our precious time, money, and energy on nightmare projects like the aerotropolis is criminally insane.

FYI This morally bankrupt man deserted his family on July 22,2009, stealing $20,000 from his children. This was done in the name of "living green." I would stay away from anything he has to say. On Energy Resources blog, he bragged that I paid his bills. A real GREEN MAN takes care of his family first.
