America is in a special predicament due to a set of unfortunate                         choices we made as a society in the twentieth century.

Suburbia will come to be regarded                         as the greatest misallocation of resources in the history                         of the world. It has a tragic destiny. The psychology                         of previous investment suggests that we will defend our                         drive-in utopia long after it has become a terrible liability.<\/strong><br \/>\nExcerpt from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/news\/story\/_\/id\/7203633\" target=\"_blank\">The                           Long Emergency<\/a><em>, appearing in Rolling Stone.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"facebook\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=https:\/\/www.mortie.net\/journal\/index.php\/2005\/04\/14\/the-long-emergency\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\">Share on Facebook<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One way to raise money for green causes: eco-porn!
