[Platform-fossilfuels] [CCAB] Fw: Tomorrow's Market

[Lawrence Fine]

Hi Abe and - - -,

IN MY OPINION:

Given the controversy and hype around the legislative compromises  
being made and the inevitability of reduction in consumption of  
fossil fuels, by hook or crook,
looking at the "peak oil" charts and the "timelines for reduction in  
co2 emissions " there seems to be some correspondence. Now, barring  
the unforeseen in world economic, environmental and other factoring  
effects ( coal !!!! ????) , my interpretation is that the viable  
numbers are "reduce co2 levels in the atmosphere from 385+ to 350-  
ppm by 2020 " - - - what is realistic?        What becomes real!

Do WE create and choose a path to travel or do we continue on this  
path and accept our fate?

What visions do we share? What may we accomplish?

I don't know - - - just sayin'
