in 1994, when delegates from around the world gathered in cairo for the international conference on population and development, representatives from developing countries protested that a baby born in the united states will consume during its lifetime twenty times as much of the world' s resources as an african or an indian baby. the problem for the world' s environment, they argued, is overconsumption in the north, not overpopulation in the south .

what is worsening is the discrepancy in income between the wealthy and the poor. although world income measured in real terms has increased by 700 percent since the second world war, the wealthiest people have absorbed most of the gains. since 1960 the richest fifth of the world' s people have seen their share of the world' s income increase from 70 to 85 percent. thus one fifth of the world' s population possesses much more than four fifths of the world' s wealth, while the share held by all others has correspondingly fallen; that of the world' s poorest 20 percent has declined from 2. 3 to 1. 4 percent .
last days in the desert is the most intelligent, engaging film about jesus since the last temptation of christ. like martin scorsese' s epic, which some christian leaders declared
blasphemous
upon its 1988 release, the movie invents a version of its hero not based on scripture, one who is allowed to express doubt and anger and, in general, act human. it is much smaller in scope: it meets jesus near the end of his 40 days of fasting and praying in the judaean desert, at the moment when satan appears to tempt him into straying from his path. throughout the film, we never see any sign that god is listening, that jesus' path is indeed righteous, or that satan is anything but a hallucination brought on by the heat and lack of nourishment. there are no easy answers in the desert .

jules verne' s classic adventure is redefined in this animated version. phileas fogg, an english lord, has just become the main suspect in a daring bank robbery. meanwhile, he has made a wager with several other lords that he will be able to travel around this world in a mere 80 days. joined by his butler, passepartout, fogg begins his journey. however, hot on his heels is a detective from scotland yard, mr. fix. through the savages from the wilds of india to the pioneers in america, their journey is one filled to the brim with adventure, but mr. fix is quickly catching up and intends to cut fogg' s adventure short .
the world resources institute, in a 1994 - 1995 report, referred to
the frequently expressed concern that high levels of consumption will lead to resource depletion and to physical shortages that might limit growth or development opportunity .

the film had been pilloried by conservative christians for a dream sequence in which christ has sex with mary magdalene. in depicting christ’s life as a doubt - ridden struggle between his human and divine natures, scorsese had intended to make a film that was at once an act of doubt and an act of faith. in the novel he was reading, the priest was shown profaning an image of christ, and yet the act was an act of faith .
the world has the wealth and the resources to provide everyone the opportunity to live a decent life. we consume too much when market relationships displace the bonds of community, compassion, culture, and place. we consume too much when consumption becomes an end in itself and makes us lose affection and reverence for the natural world .
in his film, the heroine is so appalled by the snobbish behavior of her friends that she joins in a plot to murder them and disguise the deaths as suicides. what sets
heathers
apart from less intelligent teenage movies is that it has a point of view toward this subject matter - a bleak, macabre and bitingly satirical one. i imagine the film will indeed shock some adults with its cold - blooded treatment of death among the young, but after having weathered the eight - part
friday the 13th
series and countless other dead teenager movies, i have grown so hardened to the sight of adolescent movie corpses that this film seems only a little more cynical than most .
according to thoreau ,
a man' s relation to nature must come very near to a personal one .
for environmentalists in the tradition of thoreau and john muir, stewardship is a form of fellowship; although we must use nature, we do not value it primarily for the economic purposes it serves. we take our bearings from the natural world - - our sense of time from its days and seasons, our sense of place from the character of a landscape and the particular plants and animals native to it. an intimacy with nature ends our isolation in the world. we know where we belong, and we can find the way home .
teenagers don' t have any trouble with it ,
the film' s director, michael lehmann, has said of the movie .
it' s always adults that are shocked .
this statement is intended, i assume, in praise of teenagers .
aquaculture produced more than 16 million tons of fish in 1993; capacity has expanded over the past decade at an annual rate of 10 percent by quantity and 14 percent by value. in 1993 fish farms produced 22 percent of all food fish consumed in the world and 90 percent of all oysters sold. the world bank reports that aquaculture could provide 40 percent of all fish consumed and more than half the value of fish harvested within the next fifteen years .
i' m not a christian, but i talked to christian critics following the film' s screening who said last days in the desert gets much closer to the heart of jesus' dilemma than other recent biblical epics like son of god and risen. it' s one of those wonderful paradoxes of fiction, the idea that only through invention, even of such well - worn material, can we uncover new emotional truths. but this is also why the ending, which gives us brief flash - forwards of the crucifixion, doesn' t work as well. it pulls us back into the common literal interpretation of the new testament that garcía had so carefully veered away from. the film is best when, like its subject, it has the conviction to set off on its own course .
some of them saw a clip from wakolda (the german doctor) on tv recently and really wanted to watch it. so i thought i’d take a chance, not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped .
the delegates who told reilly that the north consumes too little of what the south produces have a point .
with a few exceptions (notably petroleum) ,
a report from the world resources institute observes ,
most of the natural resources consumed in the united states are from domestic sources .
throughout the 1980s the united states and canada were the world' s leading exporters of raw materials. the united states consistently leads the world in farm exports, running huge agricultural trade surpluses. the share of raw materials used in the north that it buys from the south stands at a thirty - year low and continues to decline; industrialized nations trade largely among themselves. the world resources institute recently reported that
the united states is largely self - sufficient in natural resources .
again, excepting petroleum, bauxite (from which aluminum is made) ,
and a few other industrial minerals, its material flows are almost entirely internal .
filmed in california' s anza - borrego desert, last days has an understated visual wonder. the film embraces the vibrant color palette and topography of its setting in a way few desert movies dare: reds, oranges and purples streak across ground and sky alike, and characters frequently peer over the edges of cliffs, with the camera following their gaze, moving at a meditative pace. renowned cinematographer emmanuel lubezki is much more restrained and unobtrusive here than in his recent hat - trick of looping, careening oscar winners gravity, birdman and the revenant, and his approach lulls us into the patterns (both visual and behavioral) of biblical life .
when scorsese returned from japan, he procured the film rights to “silence. ” as the years passed, hardly a day went by without his mentioning the project to the people around him: actors, friends and even his old parish priest, father principe. as he made “the aviator” and “the departed, ” “shutter island” and “hugo, ” he insisted that “silence” was the picture he really wanted to make. a jesuit was elected pope; islamic terrorists began targeting christians in the middle east. in 2014, with “the wolf of wall street” a hit, scorsese declared that “silence” would be his next picture: he wouldn’t commit to another until it was finished. twenty - six years in, filming began .
an article on nov. 27 about martin scorsese referred incorrectly to his involvement with “woodstock, ” the 1970 documentary about the 1969 music festival. he was one of several editors on the film, not the sole editor. the article also misidentified the company that released the 1986 drama “the color of money. ” it was released by touchstone pictures in association with silver screen partners ii, not universal pictures. the article also referred incorrectly to the title of a film. it is “the bridge on the river kwai, ” not “bridge over the river kwai. ” the article also misstated the given name of a jesuit poet. he was gerard manley hopkins, not gerald .
william reilly, when he served as administrator of the environmental protection agency in the bush administration, encountered a persistent criticism at international meetings on the environment .
the problem for the world' s environment is your consumption, not our population ,
delegates from the developing world told him. some of these delegates later took reilly aside .
the north buys too little from the south ,
they confided .
the real problem is too little demand for our exports .
in response to problems of climate change, the world bank and other international organizations have recognized the importance of transferring advanced energy technologies to the developing world. plainly, this will take a large investment of capital, particularly in education. yet the
alternative for developing countries ,
according to josé goldemberg, a former environment minister of brazil ,
would be to remain at a dismally low level of development which... would aggravate the problems of sustainability .
the companions arrive at queenstown (cobh), ireland, in time to reach london before the deadline. once on british soil, fix produces a warrant and arrests fogg. a short time later, the misunderstanding is cleared up—the actual robber was caught three days earlier in edinburgh. however, fogg has missed the train and returns to london five minutes late, certain he lost the wager .
cardinal hayes is a high school in the bronx, and after a year of minor seminary — a tryout for the priesthood; once a regular stop for bright catholic boys of limited means — scorsese went there. (don delillo, the novelist, was a few years ahead .) rejected by fordham university because of poor grades, scorsese enrolled at n. y. u. ’s washington square college and its film program. from there, he plunged into the ’60s: a concertgoer at the fillmore east, an expatriate in england and holland, an assistant director at woodstock (he became an editor on the concert film) and then a maker of his own movies — “who’s that knocking at my door, ” about a young man in the suddenly liberated ’60s whose catholic principles keep him out of bed with his girlfriend, and “boxcar bertha, ” a film about a female rabble - rouser “free’er than most. ”
ewan mcgregor excels in a dual role as both jesus and the devil, and the double casting allows writer - director rodrigo garcía (nine lives) to reject the idea that doubt is some external, alien force we can overpower with enough good vibes. instead, the film hints that darkness and desperation can lurk within the best of us. mcgregor' s jesus is a man who observes the world around him with quiet remove, but it' s his and garcía' s brilliant characterization of satan that pulls our attention. he is not a purely malevolent force, but an inquiring sort, asking the questions about god and the unknowable that give jesus pause. there are moments when we see him letting his guard down as he admits that, though he can see into the future, what he sees only makes him more perplexed by the ideas of selflessness and love. what good are they in such a cruel world, he demands of his alter ego ?
it' s stunning, isn' t it ,
he asks ,
how life ends ?
the man on the train was in a quandary, and the man in the novel he was reading was in a quandary; and as he read the novel, it emerged that his quandary and the one in the novel were essentially the same .
tragedy strikes the following day when holy falls ill due to her own stand manifesting from dio' s influence. without the necessary willpower that her son and father possess, holy is slowly being killed by her own stand. joseph and avdol determine that holy will die in fifty days unless they kill dio to break his influence .

polnareff, iggy, and avdol enter the mansion and find themselves in an illusory maze, but easily dispose of the stand user. vanilla ice ambushes the group and kills avdol as he pushes his companions out of the way. cream, a stand that can swallow vanilla ice and create a portal into the void that disintegrates everything around it while remaining undetectable by the senses, is beyond polnareff and iggy' s power to defeat .

thanks for the great job you do in posting movie and television reviews online. i’m a college freshman and i recently had a confrontational disagreement with my english professor regarding an r - rated film. it is her favorite movie and she wanted to show it in class. i went to your web site to research the film’s content. although i had not seen the movie myself, i was able to make an educated argument against it based on the concerns you outlined. the prof said that she was impressed by my stand and decided to poll the whole class and give us a choice. we overwhelmingly voted to watch a g - rated movie instead! i’ve learned that i can trust your site and i will be using it a lot in the future. ”
dio stops the flow of time and within the five
seconds
he' s allowed, has the world punch through kakyoin. while the vampire gloats, kakyoin manages to grasp the power of his foe. unable to speak, he shoots a clock tower before dying, making joseph understand the world' s ability. dio pursues joseph and just as the old man warns jotaro about dio, the latter stops time and launches a knife to his throat. joseph is stabbed and loses consciousness .
before the second world war the united states bought 40 percent of its vegetable oils from developing countries. after the war the united states protected its oilseed markets - - for example, by establishing price supports for soybeans. today the united states is one of the world' s leading exporters of oil and oilseeds, although it still imports palm and coconut oils to obtain laurate, an ingredient in soap, shampoo, and detergents. even this form of
exploitation
will soon cease. in 1994 farmers in georgia planted the first commercial acreage of a high - laurate canola, genetically engineered by calgene, a biotechnology firm .
what happened next still stands as a central episode in the culture wars. as scorsese worked round the clock to edit the picture, the religious right moved against it. donald wildmon, a right - wing instigator and head of the american family association, organized a picketing campaign at universal pictures in los angeles. the rev. r. l. hymers jr. of the baptist tabernacle of los angeles did the same outside the home of lew wasserman, the chairman of mca, which owned universal. the leader of the campus crusade for christ, bill bright, offered to buy the film from universal in order to destroy it. universal moved up the film’s release date and took out full - page newspaper ads in its support. in an interview with reporters in rome, the italian director franco zeffirelli, who hadn’t seen the movie, called it “truly horrible and completely deranged. ” reports attributed to him a remark that the movie was the product of hollywood’s “jewish scum. ” zeffirelli denied this, but the notion took root that the movie was the sinister work of a cabal of jewish movie executives conspiring against the christian faith .
“silence, ” no less than scorsese’s informal new york trilogy — “mean streets, ” “taxi driver, ” “raging bull” — is rooted in his childhood. as a boy in little italy, he wanted to be a missionary. his parents were not religious, in part because their parents had felt the church’s heavy hand in sicily, but for him the church — a malign force in so many coming - of - age stories — was a portal to the world beyond family and neighborhood. “i trusted the church, because it made sense, what they preached, what they taught, ” he said. “i understood that there’s another way to think, outside the closed, hidden, frightened, tough world i grew up in. ”
fogg and passepartout reach suez in time. while disembarking in egypt, they are watched by a scotland yard detective named fix, who has been dispatched from london in search of a bank robber. because fogg matches the description of the robber, fix mistakes fogg for the criminal. since he cannot secure a warrant in time, fix boards the steamer conveying the travellers to bombay. fix becomes acquainted with passepartout without revealing his purpose. fogg promises the steamer engineer a large reward if he gets them to bombay early. they dock two days ahead of schedule .
the underlying dynamic in
heathers
comes out of movies like
bonnie and clyde ,
where the lovers back into crime almost absentmindedly, using it as a backdrop for the truly important things in their lives. another movie that comes to mind is
river' s edge ,
based on the true story of a teenager who killed his girlfriend and then displayed her body to his friends, who did not inform authorities for three days .
discussions of the future of the planet are dominated by those who believe that an expanding world economy will use up natural resources and those who see no reasons, environmental or otherwise, to limit economic growth. neither side has it right .
probably the most persistent worries about resource scarcity concern energy .
the supply of fuels and other natural resources is becoming the limiting factor constraining the rate of economic growth ,
a group of experts proclaimed in 1986. they predicted the exhaustion of domestic oil and gas supplies by 2020 and, within a few decades ,
major energy shortages as well as food shortages in the world .
a. o. scott, now a chief film critic for the new york times, once wrote that scorsese approaches filmmaking as “a priestly avocation, a set of spiritual exercises embedded in technical problems. ” so it was with “silence. ” “marty insists on having silence on the set, ” garfield told me. “the silence says: ‘something is happening here. ’ ” scorsese arranged the shooting script chronologically, so the cast could feel the characters’ emotions in sequence. finally garfield reached the scene in which rodrigues steps on the fumie, profaning the god he believes in and renouncing the faith he has come halfway across the world to preach. actor and director prepared the shot: a bare foot pressed to a piece of copper, the face of christ worn smooth by the feet of countless apostates before him. “it’s something we had both waited for, ” garfield said, “but marty had waited much longer — he had waited decades to film that scene. ” the director was ready; the priest stepped — and then there was a technical difficulty. “i almost lost my mind, and i think marty did, too, ” garfield recalled. “he wanted it to be done in one take. ” there was a second take, and the priest profaned the image of christ once and for all .
the north not only balks at buying sugar and other crops from developing countries; it also dumps its excess agricultural commodities, especially grain, on them. after the second world war, american farmers, using price supports left over from the new deal, produced vast wheat surpluses, which the united states exported at concessionary prices to europe and then the third world. these enormous transfers of cereals to the south, institutionalized during the 1950s and 1960s by u. s. food aid, continued during the 1970s and 1980s, as the united states and the european community vied for markets, each outdoing the other in subsidizing agricultural exports .
farmers worldwide could double the acreage in production, but this should not be necessary. better seeds, more irrigation, multi - cropping, and additional use of fertilizer could greatly increase agricultural yields in the developing world, which are now generally only half those in the industrialized countries. it is biologically possible to raise yields of rice to about seven tons per acre - - about four times the current average in the developing world. super strains of cassava, a potato - like root crop eaten by millions of africans, promise to increase yields tenfold. american farmers can also do better. in a good year, such as 1994, iowa corn growers average about 3. 5 tons per acre, but farmers more than double that yield in national corn growers association competitions .
jotaro and star platinum clashes with dio and the world. jotaro can move briefly during the stopped time and manages to wound dio. the vampire regenerates anyway and forces jotaro' s bluff about how much he can move during the time stop by throwing a myriad of knives at him. jotaro is stabbed in multiple limbs and falls to the ground .
by now scorsese’s intentions for it were a good deal more complicated. “i told him that god can’t be only in the hands of the churches, ” he later said, recalling the meeting with hassanein. “there are so many obstacles in between us and the spirit. in a sense, to make this film was to try to make god accessible to people in the audience who feel alienated from the churches. i said: ‘i have had three divorces. does this mean i can’t speak to god because the church says i can’t? no, no! i can talk for myself because i’m me. ’ ”
the two flee to the second - floor gallery and try to ambush vanilla ice by using iggy' s stand to mimic dio with a stand statue, but it fails and vanilla ice repeatedly and violently kicks him. polnareff is disabled and vanilla ice hides again inside his stand. scattering sand around the room, the frenchman manages to stab ice' s throat, but ice has begun transforming into a vampire and breaks free while wounding polnareff .
“i don’t think i am called to be a priest, ” garfield said to me resolutely, as if making this film had spurred him to consider the prospect. “but i had the feeling that i was being called to something: called to work with one of the great directors, and called to this role as something i had to pursue for my spiritual development. ”
for a long time, we' re not even sure of the point of view: is this a black comedy about murder or just a cynical morality play? the traveler in the foreign country is not sure, but he knows the film inspires thought, and has the ability to shock - two qualities that make it worth considering. maybe it' s true that teenagers will understand it best. maybe it' s even true that they deserve to .
the world already produces enough cereals and oilseeds to feed 10 billion people a vegetarian diet adequate in protein and calories. if, however, the idea is to feed 10 billion people not healthful vegetarian diets but the kind of meat - laden meals that americans eat, the production of grains and oilseeds may have to triple - - primarily to feed livestock. is anything like this kind of productivity in the cards ?
the group splits in two: kakyoin and joseph luring dio while jotaro and polnareff will follow him. a car chase ensues between dio and joseph and kakyoin across the streets and then the roofs of cairo. risking his life, kakyoin probes the world' s ability. kakyoin unravels hierophant green to attack dio from all sides, and the vampire finally uses his power .
simple compassion instructs us to give to relieve the misery of others. there is a lot of misery worldwide to relieve. but as bad as the situation is, it is improving. in 1960 nearly 70 percent of the people in the world lived at or below the subsistence level. today less than a third do, and the number enjoying fairly satisfactory conditions (as measured by the united nations human development index) rose from 25 percent in 1960 to 60 percent in 1992. over the twenty - five years before 1992 average per capita consumption in developing countries increased 75 percent in real terms. the pace of improvements is also increasing. in developing countries in that period, for example, power generation and the number of telephone lines per capita doubled, while the number of households with access to clean water grew by half .
they come across a procession in which a young indian woman, aouda, is led to a sanctuary to be sacrificed by suttee the next day by brahmins. since the young woman is drugged with opium and hemp and is obviously not going voluntarily, the travellers decide to rescue her. they follow the procession to the site, where passepartout takes the place of aouda’s deceased husband on the funeral pyre on which she is to be burned. during the ceremony he rises from the pyre, scaring off the priests, and carries the young woman away. the two days gained earlier are lost, but fogg shows no regret .
for those who lament the decline of natural fisheries and the human communities that grew up with them, the successes of aquaculture may offer no consolation. in the pacific northwest, for example, overfishing in combination with dams and habitat destruction has reduced the wild salmon population by 80 percent. wild salmon - - but not their bio - engineered aquacultural cousins - - contribute to the cultural identity and sense of place of the northwest. when wild salmon disappear, so will some of the region' s history, character, and pride. what is true of wild salmon is also true of whales, dolphins, and other magnificent creatures - - as they lose their economic importance, their aesthetic and moral worth becomes all the more evident. economic considerations pull in one direction, moral considerations in the other. this conflict colors all our battles over the environment .
things have not turned out as ehrlich expected. in the early 1990s real prices for food overall fell. raw materials - - including energy resources - - are generally more abundant and less expensive today than they were twenty years ago. when ehrlich wrote, economically recoverable world reserves of petroleum stood at 640 billion barrels. since that time reserves have increased by more than 50 percent, reaching more than 1, 000 billion barrels in 1989. they have held steady in spite of rising consumption. the pre - tax real price of gasoline was lower during this decade than at any other time since 1947. the world energy council announced in 1992 that
fears of imminent [ resource ] exhaustion that were widely held 20 years ago are now considered to have been unfounded .
the movies, likewise, pointed to the wider world. his father, a presser in the garment district, didn’t make much but always had enough money to take him to the movies. a local tv station broadcast italian films on friday nights. he grew up watching the crucial works of italian neorealism, many of them with a strong catholic dimension — like roberto rossellini’s “rome, open city, ” in which a priest is executed for cooperating with the resistance .
do we consume too much? to some, the answer is self - evident. if there is only so much food, timber, petroleum, and other material to go around, the more we consume, the less must be available for others. the global economy cannot grow indefinitely on a finite planet. as populations increase and economies expand, natural resources must be depleted; prices will rise, and humanity - - especially the poor and future generations at all income levels - - will suffer as a result .
“silence” is a novel for our time: it locates, in the missionary past, so many of the religious matters that vex us in the postsecular present — the claims to universal truths in diverse societies, the conflict between a profession of faith and the expression of it, and the seeming silence of god while believers are drawn into violence on his behalf. as material for scorsese, then, “silence” is apt, and yet scorsese’s commitment to it has been extraordinary, even by his exacting standards. to understand that commitment, i spoke with the filmmaker, with members of the cast and the production team and with others who know the novel well — trying to grasp just what kind of an act of faith this film is .
in new york, having missed the sailing of their ship, fogg starts looking for an alternative to cross the atlantic ocean. he finds a steamboat destined for bordeaux, france. the captain of the boat refuses to take the company to liverpool, whereupon fogg consents to be taken to bordeaux for $ 2000 (roughly $ 39, 569 today) per passenger. he then bribes the crew to mutiny and make course for liverpool. against hurricane winds and going on full steam, the boat runs out of fuel after a few days. fogg buys the boat from the captain and has the crew burn all the wooden parts to keep up the steam .
the group buys a cessna to cross the desert and are saddled with a baby. kakyoin and polnareff doze off and are attacked in their shared dream by death xiii again. they realize with horror that they cannot summon their stands to defend themselves. kakyoin engraves the words
baby stand
on his arms and struggles so violently it translates into the real world, and his agitation eventually causes a crash .
“even though i don’t consider myself a christian, i find your plugged in web site useful and thought - provoking. no one reviews movies like you do. instead of being judgmental, you put entertainment ‘on trial. ’ after presenting the evidence, you allow the jury of your readers to decide for themselves what they should do. in my opinion, you bring sanity and order to the wild world of modern day entertainment. keep up the good work! ”
even if predictions of resource depletion and ecological collapse are mistaken, it seems that they should be true, to punish us for our sins. we are distressed by the suffering of others, the erosion of the ties of community, family, and friendship, and the loss of the beauty and spontaneity of the natural world. these concerns reflect the most traditional and fundamental of american religious and cultural values .
an article in foreign policy in december of 1995 observed that the biotechnological innovations that create
substitutes for everything from vanilla to cocoa and coffee threaten to eliminate the livelihood of millions of third world agricultural workers .
vanilla cultured in laboratories costs a fifth as much as vanilla extracted from beans, and thus jeopardizes the livelihood of tens of thousands of vanilla farmers in madagascar. in the past, farms produced agricultural commodities and factories processed them. in the future, factories may
grow
as well as process many of the most valuable commodities - - or the two functions will become one. as one plant scientist has said ,
we have to stop thinking of these things as plant cells, and start thinking of them as new microorganisms, with all the potential that implies
- - meaning, for instance, that the cells could be made to grow in commercially feasible quantities in laboratories, not fields .
scorsese assuredly will be there, and it’s striking to envision him sitting in the dark with the pope as his new picture plays. their boyhoods were a lot alike: six years older, jorge mario bergoglio was brought up in buenos aires in a family of italian immigrants who took him to the movies often, and he grew up cherishing italian cinema, especially fellini’s “la strada” — “a film about the possibility of sainthood, ” scorsese calls it. i asked scorsese how he would describe his work to pope francis. he paused, then replied, “i would say that i’ve tried, in my work, to find out how to live life — tried to explore what our existence really is and the meaning of it. ”
the novel was “silence, ” by shusaku endo, a japanese convert steeped in european literature and the history of catholicism in japan. published in japan in 1966, “silence” sold 800, 000 copies, a huge number in that country. endo was called “the japanese graham greene” and was considered for the nobel prize. greene referred to “silence” as “one of the finest novels of our time. ”
lovins and other environmentalists contend that pollution - free energy from largely untapped sources is available in amounts exceeding our needs. geothermal energy - - which makes use of heat from the earth' s core - - is theoretically accessible through drilling technology in the united states in amounts thousands of times as great as the amount of energy contained in domestic coal reserves. tidal energy is also promising. analysts who study solar power generally agree with lester brown, of the worldwatch institute, that
technologies are ready to begin building a world energy system largely powered by solar resources .
in the future these and other renewable energy sources may be harnessed to the nation' s system of storing and delivering electricity .
upon arriving in abu simbel the heroes buy a car and make a stop near some ruins in the desert. here they meet with agents of the speedwagon foundation who give the group supplies. in addition, they bring iggy, a boston terrier and the user of the fool, a stand made of sand. finally, they reveal the existence of nine additional stand users who await the joestar group in the country .
“all in god’s good time, ” he said to me philosophically as we sat together in his house in the near dark. it was one o’clock in the morning. “we don’t know why, but this is how this picture got made. it had to be this way. ”
