Fantasy or Vision?
Thank you for sharing this carrot of hope. Unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion that we can not count on any meaningful, effective or sustainable renewable energy planning or implementing in the monetized global economic system which we are debt slaves to at the present time. The transfer of wealth from the many to the few which occurs when our energy is privately owned is a situation which the recipients of our global wealth will never give up voluntarily, no matter the cost to our human society and this biosphere.
We, the community who cares, will need to work supporting research and development of the open sourced and commonly held renewable energy resources which exist today, and those which are still in their conceptual and design phases. Eventually, we can have sustainable abundant energy which belongs to it's user community, if we actively support movement in that direction.
A energy sustainable world will not be given to us by the greedy bastards currently in charge of our fossil fuel resources, they will fight for more money transferred to their pockets until we end their private energy cabal, even if it results in Gaiacide.
But there are thousands of people working on changing the current monetized paradigm.
Thank you for your contribution to the positive outcomes of Sierra Clubs community of support.
