“Every zombie story is fundamentally about a breakdown of order, with the infrastructure intact. That infrastructure might be on fire, yes.”

“I swear, it’s like working with a bevy of Dr. Strange Loves. Abortions, no—nuke’m, hell yes. Bombs away! They piss and moan about every pittance spent on the environment or infrastructure, yet gleefully spend billions on their military toys, as if war were the only industry worth funding.”

“Humanity's current demand for energy is fundamentally unsustainable. The only feasible choice is to conduct a massive downscaling of all economic, industrial, and political operations. A decentralized, autonomous, and locally-based energy infrastructure is ultimately the only sustainable option.”

“The American Society of Civil Engineers said in 2007 that the U.S. had fallen so far behind in maintaining its public infrastructure -- roads, bridges, schools, dams -- that it would take more than a trillion and half dollars over five years to bring it back up to standard. Instead, these types of expenditures are being cut back. At the same time, public infrastructure around the world is facing unprecedented stress, with hurricanes, cyclones, floods and forest fires all increasing in frequency and intensity. It's easy to imagine a future in which growing numbers of cities have their frail and long-neglected infrastructures knocked out by disasters and then are left to rot, their core services never repaired or rehabilitated. The well-off, meanwhile, will withdraw into gated communities, their needs met by privatized providers. ”

“One of the things that we don't want to do is to destroy the infrastructure of Iraq, because in a few days we're going to own that country.”

“Someone should say that; why we shouldn’t burn their schools and destroy their buildings and infrastructures instead of burning our own homes.”
