Please pardon me if I am wrong.

50 years, 100 years, really it doesn't matter. It continues the idea that we should squander energy. That is our core issue.
Sort of like a family that decides that instead of living within a budget, and adjusting the budget whenever a raise is received, they just spend whatever they want, how they want, when they want, and expect money to come from somewhere,
Which, pretty much sums up our government in the USA. We have to stop squandering our resources, whether they be money, forest, food, land, etc.
just my opinon.
