Steve Baer (Zomes, Nightwall, and many other inventions) noted in his book "Sunspots" that:

   * if a person replaces a solar powered drying technology like a clothes line or rack with a fuel-powered dryer, the GDP and/or other similar measures of economic health improve

   * if a person replaces a fuel-powered dryer with a solar powered dryer like a clothes line or rack, the same measures apparently get worse
His conclusion (in the 1970s/early 1980s) was these measures are clearly fucked.

In the UK a fatal road traffic accident increases GDP by more than a million pounds.
