Energy Slave:
“It is a very extraordinary kind of a picture, looking at those energy slaves (plotted on the Dymaxion Airocean World map). Notice that America then is really quite white. . . When you get out to the West Coast the number of energy slaves per individual is fantastically high. China is beginning to show much more white. When I did this in 1940 China had practically no white. India is till very very red. And you get all those reds in Africa with just a few little whites scattered around. In South America notice all reds and very little whites. Nothing could give you more quickly the fundamentals of man’s being successful and unsuccessful for a generation of life.”
“. . . This in a sense is a brief picture of the external metabolics.”
