(IS THIS MAP SCARY?)
To Americans? Europeans? East Asians? We who enjoy our comfortable lives in the “developed world?”
What if sunlight becomes the next oil? What if we figure out how to store and ship it inexpensively? Who will get rich? Who will get jealous? Who will exploit whom?
Or might the difference between red and blue on that map be the difference between Cliff Lee’s paycheck and Roy Halladay’s? Might that sunlight truly be abundant?
I hope we find out soon.
(Already posted that map on J440. Couldn’t resist doing it again.)
