This is so important. The technology for a sustainable society is available, but awareness remains so limited. At the brightfuture blog, we are trying to raise awareness about similar energy solutions. Please read our blog at www.brightfuture.us and spread the word.
Agreed. They tech is pretty much all there. Definitely so if you agree to use nuclear to pick up the slack until one of the other options reaches comparable cost in a decade or two.
As a scientist, this makes me very sad. If our problems were technological I would say, ok, let's work on solutions. But I know that by and large, our problems are created by bad policy. So we really do need to push on all our non-green friends, convince people that they need to act yesterday if they want our standard of living and quality of life to continue to improve and to spread around the world.
