Roger, "exploitation" was my choice of words.
It has no intended negative semantics; think of it like using fertilizers to increase crop yields per hectare, or putting a thermal solar panel on your roof.
Luís,
Please accept my apology for the misatribution, and if I engaged in rhetorical overreach, I again apologize.
I have been on something of the defensive, attempting to provide any technology with the justification to exist, so yes, a thermal solar panel would be welcome, and I will attest to the miracle of composting in the garden, so that is more than enough for me. :-)
I think I am going to save the very nice article and string of posts on concentrating solar power from TOD the other day, and just go off and study for awhile!
Thank you for your post, it made me think of a simpler time, of the "Village Homes" Development of Micheal and Judy Corbett from back in the '70's, and the "New Urbanism" ideas. As us boomers get older, we are going to learn to live in communes again.....only now they will be called "Senior Towers" "Retirement Communities.", so our lifestyle is already set anyway....:-)

I'm not trying to push either way; Innovation or Social Change, both have its goods and bads. The all point is about "Silver Bullets", and how complex are the problems the Hubbert Peak raises.
