                    John,

                    Without using engineering jargon, the 
                    infra structure is the system or the
                    interrelated systems that accommodates
                    such matters, as you point out, as          
                    waste and pollution. Close analysis of
                    the "system" as now being presented to
                    the public is in itself an entropic
                    system. It can not be sustained without
                    some negative impact upon the current
                    system and the environment.
