The consequences are so dire that if the probability of warming occurring were only .1% we still would have to act. Furthermore the question really is whether we have to conserve or not. As the years go by we will run out of many resources including fossil fuels and it is imperative that we conserve them. Still another reason is that by reducing consumption we can reduce the basic cost of living and that will be essential at a time where poverty is everywhere. </span></font></div><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><div class="yiv8033127711MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> It is imperative that we build more nuclear plants because that is the only source of energy large enough to save us from total despair.

Cities must be designed a square mile at a time. That square mile should be packed with apartment houses, factories, multi-purpose buildings, a department store, and anything else that is needed for every day life. Towns should be so designed that “walking to work will save the earth” The construction of single family houses should be stopped. The first step is to stop subsidizing them in any way. Apartments will save large amounts of heating energy and the compactness they can create will greatly reduce transportation energy. City and county governments must assist in the formation of car pools. Apartments are the only way of saving energy that costs nothing because we need a place to live anyhow. </span></font></div><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><div class="yiv8033127711MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Energy saving devices such as cogeneration, comanufacturing, combustion driven heat pumps, and solar mirrors for both power generation and heating must be developed.
