Huh. Well, there's no way to know for sure... I'd put my money on something other than God or ourselves killing off Humanity. Gamma Ray Burst, meteors, whatever. It'll happen eventually. - However, by then we'll be so borg-ified that 'humanity' will have lost meaning. |

I suppose you could define China as a facility to generate electrical power. |

Read the line under that. 2. One that possesses great force or energy: She is an editorial powerhouse. Your definition of the word is too literal. She is not an editorial "facility to generate electrical power". |

No but that phrase simply isn't used for that. It has nothing to do with literal or not. There are often times phrases that could be used for certain things but just aren't, and if he had gone on a show on CNN or something and said 'powerhouse' in place of superpower somebody would've corrected or ridiculed him. |

I don't really understand what you're saying. Powerhouse has more than one meaning. Drummerboy didn't make a colossal mistake whichever way you look at it, although he obviously could have picked a better word to avoid this. |

I never said he made a colossal mistake. As a matter of fact, I asked a question. Powerhouse has more than one meaning, but none of them are a synonym of 'superpower' in reference to a nation. |
