Saw it... and still have the textbook! Thing about
Connections was, it discussed the history of technology as it got us to today.
After the Warming discussed where technology was taking us, namely, into global warming, rampant pollution in our air, land and sea, and an eventual ruination of our present way of life.
It might be easy enough to "just drill here," or "just put a nuke there," but if you're not going to be concerned about the waste and pollution that will result, you're not helping anything... in fact, you're just continuing to dig us deeper into a hole that's already too deep now.
Max'ing out the old, dirty technologies aren't going to help. Developing new technologies, and a new way of life, will.
