[Dialogue] ENERGY DEPLETION

[Karl Hess]

George,

Slimming down is the only way to do it, unless there is a miracle in 
fusion or coal technology.  The media owners want us to think that we 
have to wait for the miracle.  Remember the Churchill quote - you can 
count on the US to do the right thing - after everything else has 
failed.  Maybe in this case after the last polar bear has drowned.

Apathy and talking to each other certainly won't work.  Rereading 
"Brave New World Revisited" helps understanding.
