Reply #59: What is needed to understand

[tama]

That building a whole new infrastructure in 10-20 years requires a massive input of energy capital, which needs to come from somewhere. That is not going to happen because

1) net energy per capita has been stagnant (or decreasing) since 1979
2) maintaining the social order of a growth based sociaty needs more and more net energy
3) as we see currently, "Green Capitalism" is just load of huff and puff and all resources of society are put in service of maintaining support for "The Eye of the Pyramid" (http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-july-16-2009/pyramid-economy), ie. the banking system - which is a energy dead end, not only a non-productive misinvestment but... well, let's say frankly, evil.
