I think it would be far better to grow a forest in the Sahara. Energy

It's not lord Mook's idea, so without a speck of remorse it simply
can't be done, no matters what.

Reality doesn't need my defense. I am telling you why I favor
asteroid development over stripping and modifying the natural systems
of Earth with industrial disease. If you have a better idea and I'm
wrong - go out and do it. No one's stopping you.

Your idea isn't just wrong, it represents a net loss of energy and
viable resources, not to mention further pollution and spendy decades
of which we do not have such spare loot or time to work with,
especially if we keep pissing off those mostly nice Muslims or of
whatever's represented by China.
