[quote="Skeptic"]Simple said :
We have to dare to think differently and cooperatively in a way that profiteering and personal fortune is taken out of the equation.
That approach is instantly doomed to failure. People do not want to make big financial sacrifices. They will make small one - such as paying a wee bit more for green electricity. But they will resist mightily anything that has a substantial effect in reducing standard of living.
Skeptic.... with a doom and gloom attitude like that I can see how it would be difficult for you to see the alternative to your approach. Conservation of energy is not synonymous with reduced standard of living. I think it is too early to conclude that people will not make a major financial sacrifice to enhance our future.
The people who will resist mightily are the ones who are currently getting obscenely rich selling us a plasticized lifestyle.
