Where is capitalism when you need it?

Delicious "where is your God now" moment.

I am not really sure capitalism is the problem, rather tech and politics. I mean, do you have any practical alternative to the oil industry and also a handful of skilled politicians that will convince most of the population to consume less than they already do for a few years while we implement this new tech?

The point isn't the economy, is those which consume it: us, we, me and you.

The solutions have been sitting there for a while. The lack of political support is almost entirely due to oil companies. It's just capitalism.

Still, someone is paying those oil companies, and I cannot see a bigger culprit than the end consumer. I mean, we don't really have a choice in the matter since we alone have no power over it, we either accept it or, well, go dark.
