I did some math on the cost. Estimates range upwards of $14 billion just for the clean-up. A 2 kW solar PV system here in Oregon costs $17,500 (and that's BEFORE tax credits and utility incentives). If we had spent the $14 billion on solar PV, we could have put a 2 kW solar system on a paltry 800,000 homes, and generated 1.6 million kW of electricity. Hmmm... Rusty, so true.

I really appreciate the firsthand accounts, and the connection you drew to the image of God. While often used as justification for dominion as domination, I agree with you that our being made in God's image is in fact one of the strongest foundations we have for creation and creature stewardship, even a personal connection to animals of love and at the very least compassion.
