Toward An Economy Of Earth
By Guy R. McPherson
http://www.countercurrents.org/mcpherson030212.htm
We need to develop a new economy because the current version is not working. The industrial economy is destroying every aspect of the living planet. And, as it turns out, we need a living planet for our own survival

The Fallacy Of The Tragedy Of The Commons
By Marq de Villiers
http://www.countercurrents.org/devilliers030212.htm
If the various natural systems of the earth, especially the air, the water, the land and its minerals, and the complex life systems they sustain, are indeed "the commons," how do we guard against the "tragedy of the commons?" If no one owns the resource and anyone can use it, how do we protect it from depletion?
The Peak Oil Crisis: Election 2012
By Tom Whipple
http://www.countercurrents.org/whipple030212.htm
Although it is likely that the President and his Secretary of Energy understand that a decline in world oil production is not far away, it is simply not a topic to be raised prior to an election as the political risk is simply too great. Someday, likely within the next decade, the US and the rest of world's governments will have to acknowledge there is a problem here
The Hydrogen Dream
By Luis de Sousa
http://www.countercurrents.org/desousa030212.htm
Cesare Marchetti proposed hydrogen (H2) as a large-scale energy vector almost fifty years ago. The main concern then was to find a simple way to feed transport systems with what seemed to be a fountain of energy about to come from the expanding nuclear park. The nuclear dream is largely gone, but hydrogen lives on. Is this dream about to come true as a piece in the transition puzzle to a post-fossil fuel world?
Nuclear Fusion
By Tom Murphy
http://www.countercurrents.org/murphy030212.htm
Our energy future is highly uncertain. Commercial fusion may come along decades down the road—mid-century at the earliest—but even then it is yet another source of heat that we can use to make electricity. Another step (mobile storage) must accompany fusion development to replace petroleum functions, and even then at significant disadvantage in energy density using current technologies. So yeah—I hope it helps us out one day. But I'm not sure we can wait that long

The West Versus Iran
By Jahanzeb Hussain
http://www.countercurrents.org/hussain030212.htm
What are the odds that the US will accept Iran as a free country? That depends not on the American government but on its own people, as well as the people of the Middle East. On its own, the US will not cease to be an empire. One has to look at the Arab Spring and the Occupiers at Wall Street because hope comes from what they are trying to achieve

Jungal Mahal And Recent 'Peace' Efforts
By Dipankar Chakrabarti
http://www.countercurrents.org/chakrabarti030212.htm
The Maoists must take into cognizance the ground reality. They should ponder over the desertion of other anti-CPI(M) forces from their side as well as large number of their cadres and sympathisers . They also need to be circumspect about their gradual isolation from the civil society and the common people in the wake of their excessive dependence on armed action and autocratic control over the mass organisations
