I find that the 'greens' are very fundamentalist. This isnt bad in itself,but the vast majority of people will never adhere to such views,but take the less extreme versions.
I think it starts with education in primary schools.
I have some family which have recently bought some land 15miles inland from a small town,where they will life for the most part via solar heating/panels etc. Big expense at first,but in the long run worth it. Energy costs here are the same in winter as in summer now,15c/kwhr. Partly caused by the hydro dam cycles.
I remember when we used to have a season of half that!
If we all went nuclear power,the world would run out of fissible material in a few lifetimes,theres no one answer. People need to get out of this consumable 1yr life span thinking cycle,which will be nearly impossible.
Saw a documentary on people in papau new guinea,who live in tree huts or floating sod earth floating on swamps,living the same way they always have. Quite inspiring.
