We ought then to regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its anterior state and as the cause of the one which is to follow. Given for one instant an intelligence which could comprehend all the forces by which nature is animated and the respective situation of the beings who compose… Continue reading Legrange

God dag Dette er et spennende tema og det kunne har vært enda mer spennende om utvalget tok opp temaer rundt hvordan et nullutslippsamfunn kommer til å se ut. Dette er et av hovedmålene for staten Norge men det er lite snakk om hva salgs omstillinger som må skje for å komme dit hen. Man… Continue reading Innspill

If natural resources are limited, and I can assure you they are, then the business model actually has no social or environmental value.… Continue reading Value III
