We have technically feasible alternatives right now for lowering
many of our emissions of greenhouse gases. It would cost
money to retool to use them to be sure. But the consequences
are serious enough that I believe it is time we paid these
costs. If the costs are too high then we invent better ways to
satisfy the need without risking as much of our very future as
we are now by doing nothing. Ignoring it will not make it go away.

My answer is we're screwed. That technology as a feature of human dynamics
grinds too slow. That we will have to have a wake-up call from mother nature,
or another oil boycott before what I term, White Christian America, rises up
to make things happen. This my opinion, however flawed it is; and I do
suspect it is. Normal people, apparently, are pretty unconcerned with the
future. None the less, when the new technology gets implemented, it won't be
fantasy science, but the real McCoy.
