Yes that's true Of course; but then again who cares if it is a beautiful sunny 

healthy clear day low ozone, UV index day outside if you are worried about 

electricity bill and are hungry for food in the stomach. 



So yes I'd say Let them Build the plants, give the people the opportunity of 

having a well airconditioned house (shelter);  freezers, refrigerators, 

electric stove for meal preparation and cooking(food), etc. and let them 

worry about waste disposal afterwards.



I don't know but, Don't the shelter and food come first?
