Rather than protest against the "bad power", why not get involved in the research for developing "good power"? If the "good power" is good enough, it will defeat the "bad power" in the marketplace, both of ideas and of economics.
Oh yes, just trust government and industry to put the necessary resouces into developing alternatives. No need for the populace to push them along, they will do it all on their own, without any pressure. It's not like they have a short term profit motive in keeping things the same, now is it? Right.
Do you actually believe what you are saying? Or are you just content to sit fat and happy, polluting the air we breath, the water we drink, and the food we eat without really giving a damn about the future?
