Yes I believe that. When we start to see real consequences policies will change, like when Japan recently decided to drop all nuclear power plants (50% of their energy consumption was from nuclear power) and now are investing in wind mills and solar power.
You see the trend in the automative industry as well, hybrid this hybrid that, Toyota being a frontrunner here sets a good example for the rest to catch up (remember Toyota is the worlds largest automobile producer!). My random prediction is that most of the western world will be driving hybrid/green cars in 30 years and the 2/3.world will catch up when those cars become cheap enough to mass produce. After this we have to deal with fueling planes with new technology.. This will probably happen, there are already signs that people are looking ahead.. for example: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38142746/ns/us_news-environment/t/solar-plane-completes-historic--hour-flight/
LMAO.
If you really study environmental science you'll see that all of that is a drop in the bucket.
It makes about a 3% difference. In the big picture.
And by the time these things are done on a widespread level the damage will already be done. Most people just don't give a shit about the environment. Their number 1 priority is to ake money and enjoy thier own life. That's the global culture right now.
Unless capitalism is stopped, and people stop profitting off fucking up the environment. It will continue.
Green tech won't help, as long as capitalism keeps going.
Capitalism is a great system in most ways. the major problem with it, as it works now, is that it really fucks up the Earth.
