In other words prepare for a return to the dark ages. And note, people, that by doing so you will make that return more sure. If we don't invest in the risky business of collaborative solutions then we will face the risky consequences of a fragmenting society where might is righter and we and our descendants (for most of us will end up in the have-nots) will be excluded and those who are rich will live like barons but pay for it with insecurity and ever mounting security bills.
The issue is about perceptions and futuring.
This trend has nothing to do with real supply and demand, since the demand for clean-energy technology could not be higher. With oil now reaching nearly $100 a barrel, it is clear that we badly need green alternatives, both as consumers and as a species.... we can choose to fix, or we can choose to fortress. Environmental activists and scientists have been yelling for the fix. The homeland security sector, on the other hand, believes the future lies in fortresses.
Again, comments are interesting.
