1. I am reminded of a scene in Ron Howard's classic APOLLO 13

Power is everything.

[Atlas Mugged]

2. Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

The honky tonk blues.

3. Other.

I want the permanent ability to quickly, easily, and efficiently edit universal reality to the full extent of all dimensions, including but not limited to space and time.

My first edit would be to add ten billion dollars to my bank account! :)

4. HArd choices.....

Want Bush behind bars and treated like abu graib for at least the rest of his life.!!!!!

But a source of energy that is good for all people does seem to out weigh revenge.

5. Alternative Energy Sources

at least give humanity the opportunity to avoid the death of BILLIONS, as will happen as petroleum sources begin their downward spiral past peak production.

6. Only if humanity stops or heavily curtails breeding...

We're waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overpopulated as it is. Petrochemical fertilizers is why we've gotten this far.

Can you see people not making children?

A very unpleasant task is going to come up. It's unavoidable. People need to prepare now.

[Sporadicus]

8. Agreed

It will prove a monumental task convincing vast segments of the world that their well-being lies in having fewer children - not more. Many third-world societies see children as their wealth; lacking a social safety net, many people depend on their children to provide for them in old age.

10. All animals find ways to believe that a larger population helps... it's

the survival instinct. Every species has the same philosophy.

Only humanity is so obtuse that it would tie wealth and money into the breeding factor. Only humanity uses money. Other species don't have money and they're managing to survive despite humankind...

Sorry to digress. How do we convince humans not to follow through with basic instinct/human nature? We can't. Not completely. Children are also an extension of the parents; to make the parents feel immortal, albeit in an indirect sort of way...

9. That is two of us now that see the big picture.
