Micro Entrepreneur Q7 of 9 - What is the purpose of energy?

Grameen Shakti answers this question pretty well - showing that we can have thriving carbon zero economies! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8130130.stm .

StandardSolar ; SELF: Given the abundant economy of solar energy, perhaps we need to get transparent about the question - what is the purpose of carbon energy? Whatever its past purpose, its main reason today seems to be to keep up huge spends on arms by governments. One of the moist depressing cses of jobs for the boys that I can imagine.
