The answer to the food crises may be found in restoring sustainable communities...one wind farm at a time.
Hopefully my own comments will soon be posted on the BBC site, and we will find out if there are any groups out there who can look beyond their prejudice towards the poor and the ignorant, who are looked upon as "useless eaters" by the global planners. As the father of a special needs child, my own son would be considered useless by the same planners whose policies have created a food/water crisis of global proportions. Before the natives were forced on reservations, and forced to mine, or grow the cash crops which were of most value to the plantation owners, the natives knew how to live off the land...
We have to return to those same principles, to build with materials provided by the earth; to harness the earth's energy for our use; not for our right to abuse or extort nature, or bend it to our will. If we have not learned how to do this, the extreme forces of nature will surely be our teacher for many years to come. Problems of drought and starvation are starting to invade our own land, and as it was for the enlightened french society, a shortage of bread will lead to major disruption in our "orderly" societies, more than home foreclosures. Any thoughts or comments on this topic?? We welcome thoughtful feedback.
