No matter how laudable or necessary a thing might be, if it's going to cost too much in the long run, most people won't have a bar of it, eventually. I'm afraid it'll take a lot longer to change human nature than it will to build these powerplants. They will only ever be a stopgap measure (even if that means 50 years of use, or more).
That's why we need the money to do the research necessary to come up with these technologies. In the meantime, we have to make do with what we can do. But we're going to have to pull our heads in when we do.

Its not just what we do in our homes we have large buildings leaving every light in the place on all night every night 24/7 365 days a year every year. Our local council has just started installing these new street lights in areas where the roads are being upgraded imagine if every street light were converted to these. I am sure that there are more things that can be done we just have to think outside the box
