My response to this article
China-made city 'scares everyone'
https://a.msn.com/r/2/AAkB3iY?m=en-au
“These Chinese players build by the thousands at one go, and they scare the hell out of everybody,” said Siva Shanker, head of investments at Axis-REIT Managers Bhd. and a former president of the Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents. “God only knows who is going to buy all these units, and when it’s completed, the bigger question is, who is going to stay in them?”
Who's gonna stay in them she asks?
Well its obvious , the Chinese themselves,with a growing population and and not enough room for everyone in China ,Chinese people need to move to different parts of the world and start a new life for themselves and their family.Of course with them come their culture and their future political influence in the host nation.
As more Chinese move into foreign countries , the influence of the Chinese gov grows all over the world.This is very good for the Chinese gov as their people are gonna create a warmer political foreign influence on the host country towards China.
This could be a threat to both the host nation and to the Communist China too.
To the host nation because the Chinese gov now is meddling in their foreign relations and getting itself better terms in deals done with it.
It could also be dangerous for the Chinese Communists too .As these emigrants will learn about Democracy and human rights from host countries such as Australia,Canada,USA,Spain,Malaysia.This knowledge could eventually tumble the communists out of power as Chinese peoples knowledge about personal freedom expands and they see a different perception of the world.

Populations and neoliberal economic growth
People in developing countries ,they complain about poverty but they never go and check themselves out and why they have so many kids ,like India has a massive population and they want us to help them ,yooo hang on for a sec ,stop having sooo many babies and start using condoms and u will have richer generations to come ,less kids more wealth . I dont know if its a euro way of life but people in the east tend to see things differently they are brainwashed by religion and their brains are imprisoned in systems of cultural idiocracy and economic disaster .
With neoliberals who damage the environment at all cost with their industries to get rich ,they erase every form of resource that these poor people have left .they say economic growth is what developing countries need .
Economic growth is achieved by exploiting natural resources ,therefore a trade off is made ,owners of the resource get income ,diggers get minerals. But what happens in reality is that the owners actually get a life sentence ,they loose their natural way of life ,get stuck with dirty industry and no way out
The price of the resource never accounts for the environmental disaster it causes ,that's why coal is cheaper than solar.
A poor working man never got rich by working hard and fair ,only by scamming someone or destroying nature .(just check out the google maps and see how many forests we have left in nsw ,u will see that theres not many ,they have been cut and converted into farms.thats why we are so rich ,loads of farmland the size of europe but only with 25million folk population,Europe is 800 million,Asia 3 billion ,Africa 1b ,north America 400million.
We are still richer,they say we are the lucky country
Theres no luck when u knowingly kill nature ,wipe out indigenous people
And block anyone from coming into ur country for free ,u gotta pay loads to come in here ,either with hard work (457visa) or by hard cash (5m gets u an Aussie passport legally) or just bribe them lol.

Recoverable shale oil reserves in the USA
Biggest oil consumers wikipedia stats
In 2013, the United States consumed a total of 6.89 billion barrels of petroleum products, an average of 18.89 million barrels per day.1 This total includes about 0.32 billion barrels of biofuels.
USA imports 40% of its petroleum.
Shale oil pumps around 3million barrels of oil a day ,using the fracking method of extraction

Earlier this year the U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA) also forecast a plateau in U.S. oil production after 2020.
The basis for these forecasts are estimates of shale oil reserves. A 2013 Energy Department report on technically recoverable shale oil—the amount that's recoverable without regard to cost—puts U.S. potential at 58 billion barrels. That's equivalent to a little more than eight years of U.S. consumption at the current rate of almost 19 million barrels a day.
The Energy Department's estimate of "proved reserves" of shale oil—those that can be recovered economically today—is only about ten billion barrels. That's about a sixth of technically recoverable reserves, and less than a year and a half's worth of current consumption. Proved reserves include all currently known U.S. oil shale resources-North Dakota Bakken, Texas Eagle Ford, Colorado and Nebraska Niobrara, Texas Barnett, and others.
In contrast, the proved reserves from just three Middle East nations—Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates—total more than 460 billion barrels. That's 46 times U.S. shale oil reserves, and more than 12 times the total U.S. oil reserves.
Those estimates help explain why the IEA projects

New Ocean Reserves in USA offshore territories
By broadening the Pacific Remote Islands National Marine Monumentfrom almost 87,000 square miles to more than 490,000 square miles, Obama has protected more acres of federal land and sea by executive power than any other president in at least 50 years and makes the area off-limits to commercial fishing.

The importance of beavers to our wildlife and its biodiversity

USA Federal level Nature Conservation
Today, about 235 million acres of federal wildlands have been permanently protected as wilderness, parks, refuges or other protected areas. But that’s only a third of our public lands. And about 100 million acres of pristine wildlands are still at risk.
Today, about 235 million acres of federal wildlands have been permanently protected as wilderness, parks, refuges or other protected areas. But that’s only a third of our public lands. And about 100 million acres of pristine wildlands are still at risk.
Wilderness areas are designated by Congress on federal public lands. The Wilderness Act established the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS) to include all designated Wilderness areas. The wilderness system now includes nearly 110 million acres in 662 Wilderness areas.
The lands that can be designated as wilderness are:
National parks
Some of America’s most iconic national parks include Yellowstone, Acadia and Yosemite.
National forests
Our national forests — home to clean water sources and incredible recreation opportunities. Forty-one states contain national forest lands.
green-federal forests
yellow-federal land managament
pink-i think indian reservation (not sure)
orange-national parks
blue-defense land
USA to reduce its dependence on coal fired electricity generation
Coal is 39% (2013) of the US electricity generation
Coal is 39% (2013) of the US electricity generation
http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/12/09/3598906/terrible-year-for-coal/The EPA announcement on existing power plants came shortly after the Energy Information Administration projected that low natural gas prices and slower electricity demand would accelerate the pace of coal-fired electric plant retirements. The agency said a total of 60 gigawatts of capacity would retire by 2020, with the bulk of that coming by 2016. In 2012, there were 1,308 coal-fired generating units in the U.S., with 310 gigawatts of capacity, and in that year alone 10.2 gigawatts was retired.
