It seems to me many people that have posted in this thread have somewhat skewed conceptions of what a resource-based economy actually is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacque_Fresco#Resource-Based_Economy

>A resource-based economy replaces the need for the current monetary economy, which is "scarcity-oriented" or "scarcity-based". Fresco argues that the world is rich in natural resources and energy and that — with modern technology and judicious efficiency — the needs of the global population can be met with abundance, while at the same time removing the current limitations of what is deemed possible due to notions of economic viability.

If global sea levels are rising, climate change etc, why don't we start building floating sustainable ocean cities?
