Just to reflect on what our reality would be like with hydroelectric power dominating the world;
- if the USA had eliminated coal and replaced it with hydroelectric power, how much of the world would be facing drought now?
- would the focus on water have taken shape sooner?
- would the impetus to the Syrian war have occurred?
- would California be facing the fires it is today?
One has to realize the greed that occurred in the USA when greenhouse gases came into focus as a concern for Earth's viability.
If the USA sincerely lead on climate, would the plutocrats be undermining the morality of the USA today? Would 2007-8 have happened? What was the reaction of Wall Street since 1960 due to the rising concern of climate? What does that say about the USA?
It is time the USA return to morality as a focus to it's politics, not greed. It is long overdue.
