I think we just might have reached the tipping point for world Green Energy to take off much like a new industrial revolution on earth. No one is fooled by the temporarily low price on gas and food (both related). It is just a matter of time (months or years) before gas and food is up out of sight once again.
With President Elect Obama maybe the U.S. can finally mobilize its 300 million people strong into the same direction and by example permanently change the energy base on earth off of oil. It is not really about oil and terrorists though that is an issue at this point. NO. It is about the future survival of the human race at all. If any of you have been to the arctic circle recently, an area the size of California, Texas, and Alaska is now gone within a few years of the Polar Ice Cap during much of the year. And when the ice is completely gone for 4 months a year everything on earth will suddenly get to feel a whole lot hotter pretty quick at that point. I, personally don't want to experience that nor do any folks where it gets much above 110 degrees Fahrenheit regularly right now. I have been outside for a couple of days when I was young in 120 degrees Fahrenheit and the crusty armpits(sweat and salt) and headaches from being in that hot a climate without an air conditioner are awful. For me, at that time the coldest it got was 101 degrees at about 6 am outside.
In humid climates anything above 100 degrees Fahrenheit can be deadly and many people might not survive this outcome if it lasted very long.
I believe the tipping point for green energy is here. The people have spoken and it doesn't really matter how low gas prices are right now. Gas is no longer an acceptable way to go at any price. So as little of it as we can use the better from now on.
Besides, our descendants will need the oil to make synthetic rubber, nylon and plastics for thousands of years to come until we develop something else to use for what we need. If we burn it all up now what will they use to build what they need?
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
