My favourite bit was " Farmers drool and gardeners rule"... something I've always held to be true.
The worst bit was Mr Jeremy Legett Executive Chairman of Solarcentury confidently predicting in 2009 that "by 2013 , at the latest, we will be facing not just an oil crisis but an energy famine". Personally I think useless cunts like this should simply be dragged out and publicly executed. Harsh perhaps but if we start thinning these fuckers out now future commentators might like to anchor their opinions more closely with the real world and less with what they're trying to sell.
If we all start swinging from the trees, charming though it looks, how do we terraform Mars? How do we sustain a technological society. What's the point of this idyllic "sustainable" lifestyle if we're just sitting on our chuffs waiting for the next big asteroid?
I actually bought, what must have been, one of the very first Permaculture textbooks when I was at university. Probably 1980. When I was studying my lecturers confidently predicted that organics was the next big thing. Still waiting. Though I can swing both ways.

Take a look at where we are and ask why? A guy was interested in electricity, another in telephone, another in cars, another in spaceships etc... and they built the lot. We are here because of human innovation. I don't see that changing because we decided to go sustainable. In fact pushing towards sustainability to encourage some spectacular technological advances I reckon. No doubt many will chuff sit, but hey, they do it at the moment, why stress over their non participation and stifle development by pouring money into subsidising their existence.
