Thanks for the links.  I especially like the one in your other comment, with that great picture of the europe/north africa/arabia pic.

Lots of positivity!  How to tie it into govts. (or whoever large enough pockets to get these alternative energy grids set up)...that's my question.

But clearly not mine alone.  Lots of keen minds working out solutions and searching for root causes...

Thanks again!

How to tie it into govts?

  • Start with a coalition of the willing (sorry for the Dubya-ass).

  • Show succes in the material world.

This makes them envious, daring, caring, obiding, wanting to belong, whatever. As long as it serves their interest (which is the driving force to serve that of the first movers aka sustainability)

Followers can emulate, exceed, boost their ego and/or wallet. Which can be seen as collateral damage or part and parcel of the evolving nature of mankind.  

Note: after one is tempted into a next level perspective, 'the world' enactingly changes: neurological firing patterns, psychological make up, culture, the system. That's why the tempting business is important: when one longs for the sea, building a boat is the logical thing to do

Or speaking dolphin, or both (and what about whale, and tuna--and learning to swim!)  ;)
