    Buckminster Fuller never actually made anything useful and nuclear power changes the end of this whole chain of reasoning.

    Oil companies spent decades convincing "environmentalists" that nuclear power is more dangerous than oil so they could keep selling the oil off while it lasts.

    So now we're cooking the atmosphere, way before we've run out of fossil fuels, and Buckminster Fuller's work is mostly a set of fun ideas to think about while high.
