Replacing Fossil Fuels

I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve had this conversation with someone.

While it’s true that we can’t stop using fossil fuels tomorrow, we can establish an energy policy that calls for phasing them out at the maximum feasible rate.  We can also use our economic influence around the world to lead the way among other countries, especially those that are less affluent.

The gating factor, of course, is greed. Big Oil will be damned if it’s going to relinquish control of the world energy supply, and its capacity to make obscene levels of profit by baking the planet.
