Lee, you are an economist, correct? Perhaps you can  "enlighten" me a 
bit on the economics of non-renewable resources. Why should we be 
falling all over ourselves to "exploit these resources" as quickly as 
possible? I would think that leaving them in the ground and thereby 
letting the value increase as it becomes more and more scarce could also 
be a 'profitable' business alternative. Am I missing something?

One of my friends often reminds me that oil is a crucial input to almost 
everything in modern society. Burning it to propel our vehicles is a 
rather wasteful use of such an important resource!
