You have raised ...Hi John,<BR/><BR/>The topic is very timely. You have raised many interesting issues there, one about the possible social transformation, the need to change our consumption levels (life-style), the idea that globalisation will slow down, and about our reliance on the education industry. I hope to read some comments on any of these.<BR/><BR/>In relation to the first, social transformation, after the last increase in petrol cost, the news mentioned concerns (from the part of petrol station operators), regarding the increasing number of vehicles who, after filling the tanks, left without paying. Surveillance systems are being reviewed because of this. It may be too early to tell, but what strikes me is that it may not take much to notice some degree of change in people's behaviours. <BR/><BR/>The Swedish example is interesting, however, I think I heard somewhere that they are relaying on some nuclear power (?)- not sure. If this was the case, perhaps a discussion about that could also follow.<BR/><BR/>Regard,<BR/>BeatrizBeatriz Maturanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06476527926692961102noreply@blogger.com
