GLF, et. alia.,

Nicely done piece! Pointing out the hideous nature of HOW the measure called "GDP" is defined, is a credit to your educational mission. GDP = C + I + G + Net Exports. Given the G is for government spending ON ANYTHING, any sovereign can "grow" by creating more money and spending it, even if it paid one group of people to dig holes, and another group to fill them up. Not too productive, not too beneficial for society, and not too sustainable, but possible.

I used to ask students who were infatuated with "growth"; "If bigger is always better, how come Miss America doesn't weigh 380 pounds?"

380 pounds? That was coming, until seven months ago.

Thanks for touring and reporting on these facilities for us.

Being from Europe I too can see the difference with California's energy deflection...

Muchas gracias!
