This Is What Stands Between Us and Environmental Sustainability

At left are the words of legendary environmentalist Paul Hawken, which convey the true barrier to climate change mitigation and other forms of ecological stewardship, i.e., that as a civilization, we care very little about one another’s well-being.

The plummeting costs of solar and wind are good, but they can only take us so far.

FWIW, this is why the meat of the 2GreenEnergy blog has shifted over the years from the technology and economics behind renewable energy to something that is far more central to the challenges we face if we are to survive as a species: how we need to organize our society around what is truly important.
