OK, so why isn't the public screaming for alternative energy NOW? Yes, we need energy to power our homes from other sources... I wish we would get more nuclear stuff out here... but we will not be able to get rid of oil for a while. It is hard to just generate bio-polymers with the absence of some kind of carbon.

OK, so why isn't the public screaming for alternative energy NOW? http://www.managingwholes.com/merve.htm cliffs: guy has trees on property, sawmill offers him $x for the trees instead he sells off a bit (the growth) every yr for 70yrs cut down moar than he had to begin with and has moar standing than he started with, and its all tall wide $$$$$ trees.
OK, so why isn't the public screaming for alternative energy NOW? There's a barrier to entry, a hump to push over. Once you get over the hump it could well be the new model is more cost efficient than the old one.
OK, so why isn't the public screaming for alternative energy NOW? We can't escape the narrative of history, sometimes things just slowly become the way they are, and once you've gone down that path it's not a simple thing to go back, there was never a single moment of conscious choice, the system just built up to what it is today. Whether or not before oil became the primary energy source we could have gone any other direction or not is a moot point, at the time oil was the obvious choice. If we had the opportunity to build all nuclear or solar back then, perhaps the world would be very different. Who knows, it's irrelevant, only future marginal costs are relevant in decision making.
OK, so why isn't the public screaming for alternative energy NOW? I never meant to imply that. America needs a revolution simply because we won't ever change direction with our current politics
OK, so why isn't the public screaming for alternative energy NOW? chosen, not needed
OK, so why isn't the public screaming for alternative energy NOW? Let the market decide, not the piece of shit in office.
OK, so why isn't the public screaming for alternative energy NOW? maybe not cost, but the longer electricity has to travel, the more it bleeds off I think something like half the electricity that enters the grid is lost clearly I don't know the technical terms
OK, so why isn't the public screaming for alternative energy NOW? Problem is America is so hooked on GOD. Although I understand it's a trend that's slowly reversing, "god" still halts a shit load of progress over there. Poor god. He's everyones favorite scapegoat.
