I hear you.

Is not the real question the transition in the mode of production and the creation - evolution, of a post industrial infrastructure with an enhanced infrastructure that can sustain the world distribution of the social product without regard to the contributions of ones labor? That is to say the transition from industrial society to the next phase.

In my spare time I will visit thermo dynamic theory and the production of what is called "waste" or "entropic waste."  This task has not been undertaken yet because of other pressing issues. My older brother just lost an important election as Vice-president in the UAW and he handles defeat horribly - because he is not used to losing. Then I have been invited to submit my name and be part of the bargaining committee in the only unionized sector of the gaming industry.  There is of course the piece on antagonism that wiped out 48 hours of my life. There is of course the wife, kids, grand-kids, bookclub and the collapse of the city government. Then a mutherfucker goes to work. 

I will tell you that what is called "waste" is predicated upon a body of theory that is no more than alchemy. "Oil-less" is not profitable to capital or rather a sector of capital. I do not care what is profitable and neither do you. 

I am arisen from the auto industry . . . man. And get sensitive about the theoretical underpinning of the next incremental stage in the evolution of the energy source powering the industrial infrastructure in transition.
