"Well, my point about the H3 was not necessarily about contributing to global warming but simply contributing to excessive consumption and abusive usage of natural resources"

This suggests that there is an appropriate level of "consumption" and a "non-abusive" usage of natural resources.

I am wondering how you define them? To some, the ownership of a car is sufficient to signal an inappropriate useage of "natural resources" IE oil I presume. These folks would have you fiding the bus, taking the train, riding your bicycle.

To others, the H3 is perfectly fine and it is the jet airliner that is to blame.

Where is the line drawn? Where is the gold standard? When will we run out of oil?

Hint, not in our lifetime or your kid's either. Or their kid's either.

Good topic though.
