But on the other hand, it makes capatalism dangerous!

Look at some technology: You _could_ have some very safe nuclear power
plants, but it the electric power would be _very_ expensive. So the
"greedy" owner of power plant uses the cheapest possible materials and
technologies to run the plant. And he gives a shit about the
radioactive waste to make more money...

The technology is not the real problem: ist the greed!

But this discussion is somwhow o.t. ;-)

Michael
