Hi Robbie,
To me, it's taking action. Some action, anyway. Sometimes I wish it were more action, but then again things have to be done legally, and have to be done in a way to give business time to adapt, etc.
Canada is a weird one though. We have good green energy policies with tax credits and whatnot, but the Alberta Tar sand operation still gets away with murder. Now that Alberta has a new leader, maybe things will change for the better there.

Nope...we are being told that this is a species threatening event that will destroy the world for humans.

Well, maybe, ok. In that case, let me clarify my point and personal belief on the issue.
I think the world is in serious trouble if we do nothing at all.
I think the problems can be reduced if we learn to reduce our use of fossil fuel and in fact, reducing fossil fuel use looks like it might solve all kinds of problems.
Electric Cars, Solar and Wind power, better milage on gas cars, tougher pollution controls etc, are all good ideas to me. Of course they may bring other problems with them such as solar and wind killing birds, heavy metals in batteries, etc, but it is still a good start, and with advance in technology hopefully the problems can be reduced.

Well, yes and no. IF you mean for war, yes. I don't know for sure but I'm guessing that some government agencies get at least some of their energy from green sources.

I hear you (and always have). But green energy isn't right for all industries or sectors. It's good for moving individual people around and warming or cooling your home, but for today anyway gasoline and diesel is better for big trucks & tanks, Jet fuel is better for jets, etc.
Maybe in 10 years we'll have solar powered fully autonomous drones killing enemies with lasers instead of bombs, but for now anyway, I guess we're stuck with gas.
Cheers!
