content: The crazy thing is we already have the technology today that we could be nearly entirely fossil fuel free, have independent household electric generation, and so much more. But the scale and drive has never been there. That's what this is bringing. We don't need new technological breakthroughs - we need to start implementing what we already can do. There's just so much inertia. Actually inertia isn't even the right word, it's backwards movement. Fossil fuels just generate ridiculously absurd amounts of money for businesses and they help ensure the US economy, backed by the petro dollar, is invincible to concerns for its own merit or sustainability. There's a lot invested in keeping that as the status quo.
