He said we need "to encourage a reduction in human fertility in all countries, so as to reduce the population over time." You made it sound like he wants to kill people, when in fact he wants less births. Bringing five children into a world that is currently unsustainable; now that is inhumane.

But I disagree on two points when you say "Since most people have come to terms with the theory that we’ve already seen peak oil, most authors don’t focus on this issue any longer." One, in my new book "The Prediction Trap - and how to avoid it" about how we make decisions as we look to the future, I talk about peak oil as an important driving force. More importantly (and the reason I included peak oil in my book) I don't think "most" people have a clue as to peak oil. Many people have now heard the term, because it has been in the media, but they don't get how big an issue it is. Hopefully your "re-review" will help to continue to spread the word. Randy Park Joanna,

This is probably the way we will go. Recent books like "Beyond Fossil Fools" and "Prescription for the Planet" deal with the Integral Fast Reactor technology.
