Immigration And Energy: Some Inconvenient Truths
2/16/2009
How can an entire civilization, with instant mass communication, cram its head into the sand in order to avoid the obvious? How can leaders at every level maintain abject denial? How do individual citizens slink by the ‘apparent’?
Dr. Anthrop, Professor of Environmental Studies, San Jose State University, and consultant for www.capsweb.org in California wrote a stunningly sobering report in the Spring 2007 issue of The Contract Quarterly, www.thesocialcontract.com , page 158: “Immigration and Energy: Some Inconvenient Truths.”
What big dilemma faces California? After having reached many environmental goals as to per capita energy use, Anthrop said, “adding 602,000 people on their way to growing from 37 million to 57 million, negates all progress that has been made so far.”
Note that California adds 1,650 people, net gain, every 24 hours! They add 400 cars 24/7!
