The energy source of the future is brain power.
Solve the problem not the solution. The problem is generating power at little or no cost, in massive quantities, and to easily distribute it. Discussing fuel cells, wind power, solar power, etc... are all but solutions to the current problems of nuclear, oil, coal, and natural gas... which we thought and some think are the solution to the main problem. While it is easy to say and define what the problem is, the solution is in our minds and imaginations that are dreams that have yet to take a given form.
The power to implement these ideas and dreams yes fall to the people but it is the engineers who hold the true power. We have to convey and sell our ideas to the masses where the public must accept and trust it. It is not a result of a system of poor education, rather it is the lack of people who have the '"correct" knowledge and sharing it. The educating of the masses properly is up to us in order to create a better future. To say it is the system is to blame yourself, you are a part of the system. You are a part of humanity. It is not just the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia, Mexico, Cuba, France, or any single member of the nations of this world. It is not up to the UN, the EU, or any other global organization. It is every nation of this planet whose peoples need to be properly educated and given the proper tools and technologies to wage the battle for a cleaner, more healthy Earth.
