> One could picture a future earth where most of the open space is preserved for the wild, and us humans live in and around our cities. Wouldn't that be a nice change from the way we're currently destroying our only home. It would be nice. Will depend on whether the new industrial process is cheaper than spreading out into the wild. Also these economics are a function of how long-term our thinking is. E.g. fossil fuels are cheap in the short term, but expensive in the long term.
