The page loaded fairly fast in my case, but my laptop sounds like it's about to take off. An excellent example on how a web site should _not_ be built. :D

The entire premise is a bit shaky and I am not convinced planned re-locations will result in a net positive for the environment. It's quite possible for a human to live in the wilderness alongside the aforementioned wolves (I saw a pac

Why must there be a cause? You can't just "make people better", just because they aren't having the same priorities, desires and morals as you do? That's the mistake the guys that did the mass-relocations of old did

No. Many re-locations were supposedly for the common good, though. The physical part is easy since most people will see cities as cramped nightmare-fuel regardless of who moves there first. The psychosocial part will be a nightmare to handl

It'll take generations to get rid of all current diesel engines. We need stuff like e-diesel as a stop-gap solution, because things like farming machinery are rarely replaced.
