Challenging Times
Our wealth, our society, our being is driven by oil and carbon. And when we say we have to make a shift, that is extremely difficult. It’s intellectually dishonest to somehow say we can get some lightbulbs, or you know, get a Prius and we’re all done. No. This is going to take massive technological innovation. It’s going to take changes in the way we live and work. And it’s going to take cooperation of unprecedented degrees among business and* government and among countries.
That’s where we are. There’s no other word except daunting. I’m hopeful. I’m cautiously optimistic. But I would have to say one has to approach this with great humility.
