RMF, Until there are viable alternatives to carbon fuels we won't see much change. Well yeah, digging up carbon-based energy from the Earth's crust won't last forever. Solar and wind energy can help, but they will never be more than supplemental sources because you just can't get that much energy out of solar panels or wind turbines. The future is nuclear energy. Currently we rely on fission reactors, but the environmentalists hate them. Fukushima didn't help, but every nuclear accident in history could have been prevented with proper engineering. Eventually we'll figure out fusion power. Combjelly claims we're within a decade of viable fusion reactors, but we'll see. Even then, the environmentalists will treat them the same way they treat fission reactors and oppose them as well. Nothing will satisfy them until we essentially give up modern life as we know it.
