You are of course totally right, it wouldn't be possible.

However it is possible to have large corporations and growth but also do it in a responsible manner. It won't be an overnight fix but there are a lot of smart people in this world that could make it work.

And of course lots of the solutions to the problems are also vilified (nuclear is a big one) so it isn't going to be easy.

But I think the general point being made shouldn't be dismissed entirely. They are right about many of the "solutions" that are presented being sort of a waste of time, intended only to make people feel better about themselves without making any real progress towards fixing the problem.

Thanks, yes, corporations do make excesses and yes, it's possible to do it responsibly.

Oh yes, most of the "personal solutions" are not really helpful (well, in a way they are, but it ends up happening over time, like using CFLs instead of incandescent lighting, etc)
