You got that right Darrin....

It's going to take at least 40 years to implement any of the new technologies in a way that will be socially and economically stable and responsible. You can't just up and change things overnight. Even if you found a way of generating and distributing 100% clean and safe, sustainable power. In the meantime, you can implement other programs that reduce electricity usage in homes (solar cells etc), legislation to curb unnecessary lighting in cities, the use of more energy efficient lighting methods in homes etc etc etc. Education in energy usage and sustainability etc. Things which will go part way to helping out, not create extra hindrances.
