Energy key to human progress

I hope that sanity will prevail and China will resist the calls by rabid environmentalists to embark into a self-defeating and hugely expensive emissions control.
In the process, China, if it continues to resist, may prove to be the world's salvation from the sanctimonious sociopolitical movement of ideological environmentalism.
It is always hard to oppose a movement, often in the guise of a religion, that claims it has most of the answers on how life should be. It is harder to deal with one that actually claims that life itself is at stake.
