Environmentalist reaction to Diamond Systems initiative

Hi do you recall the very presentation Al Gore did while his short stay in April in Zurich.
Weeks before Jonathan Miller, Diamond Systems CEO, had announced his company support all projects that aim at improving environment to reduce pollution and carbon consumption. Jonathan wanted to level playing field that is tilted against new technologies. Jonathan offered substantial reduction in DSC systems cost to End Users and to its Partners. The Press Release was published to many thousand engineers and business people and response is overwhelming.

Not all however were positive, enclosed here is one of those in my view well meaning individuals or organization who disagree, either way for or against.
Read for yourself.

Keep the lights on
David Holcberg, Ayn Rand Institute - Irvine, Calif.

The darkness that enveloped Sydney during a recent one-hour, citywide blackout is an appropriate symbol of the philosophical meaning of environmentalism and a harbinger of the dark future we'll face if we don't reject this anti-human ideology ("Is Earth near its 'tipping points' from global warming?" Cover story, Life, Wednesday).

Environmentalism is anti-human because it places the "preservation" of nature above human survival and prosperity. Human life in our modern, industrial civilization requires the generation of enormous amounts of energy. Yet, environmentalists are ideologically opposed to all practical forms of energy production because they constitute a massive remaking of nature for the exclusive benefit of man.

Even if it were true that cutting emissions of carbon dioxide and reducing energy use would have a significant effect on the Earth's climate, that would be no excuse for the environmentalists' anti-industrial agenda.

It took humanity thousands of years of struggling to escape the misery of pre-industrial life.

If we value our lives, we must refuse to turn off the lights that illuminate our cities and our lives.
