He isn't arguing against them either:
“What needs to happen, and what we’re slowly moving towards, is a systems thinking approach to products and their entire life cycle.”

indeed, but later in the article he talks about the fact that many of these necessary precautions wont be cost effictive.
So, much like in this BP spill, we are going to see companies campaign for self regulation as opposed to real environmental guidelines, and the nature of capitalism will probably mean that the profit motive outweighs the environmental motive, especially considering that the public is pretty much self assured that solar power has no environmental impact.
the idea that some type of top down planning of the implementation of new systems is necessary has been my point from the beginning.
Might have been, I wonder if it would work. Wouldn´t it make a bigger hole and really make things worse. Or would the heat fuse the ground solid and stop it?
I asked that myself, I think it depends on how deep the reservour is. If it is not far under the surface I think the whole thing could break open and THAT would be really bad.

So, are we to fear illegal pollution? How DARE you read destructive leftist material!
lol
Anyway...
Indeed, anything manufactured is going to "pollute" but just about any definition one can conjure. However, the alternative to a controlled, regulated, and mass produced solar technology that works to power electrolysis in homes, eliminating the need for the petroleum industry (as far as needing to burn fossil fuels for locomotion and similar energy needs...sure, all of the other petroleum products would still be needed...but you know what I mean...) Even publicly funded depots could be employed to assist the poor and the stranded.
How beautiful.
I am holding my breath, of course, because any technology that is feasible enough to uproot the overwhelming need for the oil industry, is a technology that is doomed to have "flaws", "setbacks", and "cost" problems.
Someone told me that the amount of oil that is leaking out every five seconds, that's how much the United States uses in a year.
