    No, you can not. there is no direct link from 'Humans use quite a bit of water' to 'higher levels of water'; while there is a direct link more burning fuels --> more CO2 in the atmosphere.

    1/that's why i called them 'closest to socialism'.
    2/the state = the people. (or rather : the state should be the people, it mostly is not : the market forces the much money and thus power into too few hands)
    3/'Markets are self organizing systems' HAHAHAHAHAH THAT's a good one. GIVE AN EXAMPLE.

    >USSR was a secular theocracy
    interesting points you make. but in practice, the ussr worked like a fascistic state: a small group of people controlling the whole of the state. throw in the militaristic tendencies and the nationalism ... sounds a bit like the other superpower does it not (yeah, technically the US has 2 parties, but they are both controlled by the people with the money)

    yes, but economic interests of a small, rich, minority of big country x is a reason to go to war, apparently. substitute x for a country of your choice.

    I don't know what you understand under socialist and dictatorship, but these 2 terms are mutually exclusive. USSR was fascist.

    Wind varies from 0% capacity to 100% capacity minute by minute. It is not constant. There is also an upper limit to wind speed as turbines have to be stopped to prevent damage.

    Are you building ALL your turbines at the same place ? geographical distribution removes intermittency.
