When looking at changing the market trend to alternative methods of energy we have to look at a couple of things.
1. in north america national policies and internatiional agreements esentially prohibit the induction of new methods of energy.
2. we're a "dreamer" culture not a "doer" culture. sure we can "say" this is what we need. let someone prove it. and
3. no one wants to invest billions of dollars in something that dosen't have a solid footing in the market.
One way this can be resolved is to establish energy facilities in areas of the world that are virtually unpopulated. ie antartica, iceland, greenland, northern canada.
this way in case of extreme diaster casualities are low. plus you will recieve tax breaks in "developing" (not refering to above examples)countries for bringing jobs in and keep labour costs down. then like every good business person sell the energy back to the countries that require it. create the need don't wait till we realize we need this.
this is my 2 cents.
