Can 350.org, UCS, FOE, Greenpeace, etc... walk and chew gum?
Fossil fuels are, and always have been, key to the Industrial and the Information Ages. We aren't anywhere near being able to provide renewable energy to power the world we live in, so (like it or, preferably, not) fossil fuel production continues!
We must be able to provide the HVAC we are all accustom to, light for buildings, streets, etc... Then we must add all the renewable energy and infrastructure needed to power transportation...
That's an extremely tall, almost unbelievably so, order that we aren't, yet, taking seriously.
I started a company to take transportation over half way to reducing fuel consumption, and associated tailpipe emissions. It isn't being done by the established transportation industry players, because there are wealthy and powerful influences against anything that reduces hydrocarbon profits.
I recently testified about the aforementioned transportation issues to both the EPA and USDOT, but that, too, is an attempt to register a tortoise for a marathon.
It is well past time that 350.org, and all the other responsible environmental boosters, worked both sides of the problem. We owe that to the future generations from whom we lease the Earth.
