I see these guys eventually combining with the X-prizers in the near future to create stable communities in outer space.
What's curious is there is not much U.S. involvement in sustainable technologies; they even refused the Kyoto treaty(maybe it's just the name? cultural bias?) I suppose one can just blame it on the U.S.'s oil dominance.

actually, there' s been goin on a lot of effort in studies of decentralized energy production, fuel cells etc in the US. it's bound to be an important market in the future, and even oil-giants are pumping huge amounts of dollars into research.
it is, as usual a simple case of supply/demand...

Hmmm. How about the Kyoto Protocols saying that the developed nations, especially US, have to pay the costs of environmental improvement while the "third world" nations pay nothing?
