The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[LP]

Force it into the publics face and miracles will happen.

This is exactly what happened in places like Germany and Japan, but why must we repeat the same mistakes, can't we learn without experiencing the pain?

Worse still, the pain gave rise to a new generation of political radicals, the toll from that will potentially end up costing far more than any thing we can debate about energy! There is a rising level of apathy and anarchy in these countries, with more and more of the population under fiscal duress, the disaffected are going to be the next generation of politicians.
