Today there was a discussion between three eminent scientists in this field, but as to finding less damaging ways to fuel ourselves, the best solution they could come up with, was to go nuclear - though they agreed that the downside of that is getting rid of the waste, an impossibility!
Sorry to be gloomy kokopelli, but it's a question of being realistic or crossing your fingers and hoping that scientists will solve all problems. As for the exponential side of things, it is obvious as far as vivisection is concerned, for example, there are heaps more people working for an end to this torture. Nevertheless the number of nonhumans being assassinated on a daily basis has grown exponentially. Similarly with an increase in the number of people becoming veggie or vegan, this hasn't come to a whisker of reducing the number of nonhumans being killed day in day out. People out there eat meat and enjoy it, and their numbers are increasing - just see how people in the far east who used not to eat much meat, are now eating burgers on a daily basis.
I'm not saying let's curl up and die, yes we can do whatever we can, but wearing rose-coloured glasses is hardly sensible.
