Although this is a very short article it touches on the fact that child abuse is related to poverty and teenage/child prostitution. If a child is working as a prostitute then he/she obviously does not have time for a formal education!

Article that was written in response to Jeffrey Sachs "The End of Poverty". This article, like that of Easterly's, states that what is needed is a new model of poverty solution, His suggestion is that government's role should not be of manager or director of change, but rather just a catalyst for change. Also the author believes there needs to be a focus on farming, and incentives, loans, and tax breaks to help build rural areas.

globalwarming nuclear power

shared by bmoran on 28 May 07 - Cached

Nuclear power remains dangerous, polluting, expensive and non-renewable. More nuclear power means more nuclear weapons proliferation, more nuclear-armed states, more potential "dirty bombs" and more targets for terrorists. It also means less resources invested in real solutions to growing energy demands.

If we would replace all fossil fuels with nuclear power, the world would run out of uranium in less than four years.

Cancel
Currently, nuclear is a marginal energy source, supplying only two percent of the world energy demand, and there is no realistic scenario in which this could be significantly increased.

Although nuclear power seems to be an option, this article claims that, with our current technology and resources, it is a non-renewable option that will promote, rather than solve, problems concerning global warming, nuclear arms proliferation, etc.

  Compare this question to Diamond's question. Here the question is, "why are some able to constrain the options of others" whereas Diamond's question was more like, "why are some so rich and others so poor." Just by rephrasing the question, Wolf is calling into question 2 things Diamond never considers: Power and Relationships with others.

This is another idea I have never heard of. It seems that using the geothermal energy stored by mine water to heat and cool buildings could be a viable energy source. However, is it safe? And couldn't it be considered a non-renewable resource?
