Folks, I hate to break it to you, but anywhere near anything marketable is at risk. It's only a matter of time. The only solution is ZPG, worldwide, and a sustainable, non-growth oriented world ecconomy. The hard-core capitalists are seething at that thought. But hey, the planet is only capable of supporting so much. Sooner or later, we have to: 1. Level-off the population and forget "growth" as a way to sustain ecconomies. or 2. Make space travel commonplace and start mining the rest of the solar system. This should keep us going for a few millennia. or 3. Do the lemming thing and prove Malthus correct. Take your pick. Waving a political document won't change the choices.
