At this point, I'm just so doubtful and cynical. Don't you fear that we have waited too long?

If nations and the corporations that run them really cared about renewable and healthier sources of energy, would they not be pursuing those instead of wheeling and dealing for pipelines, coal plant retrofitting and oil reserves?

There's a desperation to the quality of the diplomacy that is transpiring now around the world. It is like, I don't know, five people fighting over who gets to carry one gun, or something--lol--that's not the best analogy.

There is a whole host of other issues related to the decline of oil and the price of it that most people have no awareness of.

The future I see bears more resemblence to "Road Warrior" and "Blade Runner" than any sort of utopia.
