The real global divide runs through each society-between the globalized rich and the localized poor. • Excessive use of environmental space withdraws resources from the world's marginalized majority. Fairness demands reducing the ecological footprint of the consumer classes in North and South. • Poverty is a lack of power rather than of money. Reinforcing rights of the poor is the condition of poverty removal. • Leapfrogging into the solar age is a chance to turn "underdevelopment" into a blessing. A solar economy holds the prospect for including people and saving resources. • Poverty talk is common, wealth is taboo. Will the well-off be able to live without the surplus of environmental space they occupy today? back to index
