Show me a global situation of tight energy supply relative to demand and Climate Change concerns as we have now, projected to 2050 and beyond ! No again your representation is missleading. I did not say growth rates would definately continue. I qualified my comments by stating "At current global growth rates". I further qualified them by stating that "if these growth rates fall dramatically, then yes one might question the direction" So once you again have changed the true representation of my remarks.

Meaningless. How long is a piece of string ?

As the market always does. Nothing new there. The current market is strong and will be for the forseeable future. Say no more.

I've heard that somewhere before. Yes most people appreciate everything has limits. Nobody ever suggested otherwise, so again a mute point.

A nonsense remark. In the context of Solar PV, clean coal comparison is relevant, particularly in the Australian context, which I have mentioned, as we are heavily dependant on coal. Find a forum that talks singularly about one technology to the exclusion of all others. Somehow I doubt it, so petty again.
