Rob S., that was a lot to wrap one's brain around. Lots to chew on there. Thanks. Allow me to first respond from a stream of consciousness, then maybe later more deliberately, after I've allowed it all to settle in.

re: "What works against rational choices is ignorance and arrogance... therefore, a snowballs chance in hell!"

I think many already in some ways hold this snowball while straddling a line between Heaven and Hell. Taken to extremes your fictitious society would be populated by brains without bodies, never having to eat or poop in the First World. The mind travels with aplomb to wherever logical functions warrant, while the body parks itself somewhere, presumably at home, where it remains cozy and green. So as not to appear too extreme, one backs off to only a 70% ideal world and introduces the need for physical travel and all of its travails. This still assumes that a fair amount of the dirty work of any sustainable economy will be done somewhere else. All the trappings of cap & trade.

More after I put a few weekend chores behind me.
