I think this is the issue we run across. We need to have plans for the future of the species. It's the most common sense thing ever. If you have a shred of empathy for upcoming ages then you know that "for your lifetime" is such a shallow and stupid promise. Theres a happy medium here.

They've been working on fusion power for 60 years at least, and they're at least that far away from making that work still.
Wind isnt efficient, although it's getting better. Solar isn't able to provide enough. Combined neither will ever be able to supply more than a small fraction of the load needed.
Wanting something better is nice. Recognizing your limitations in actually doing it is VITAL. If you don't understand why it didn't work, you can never make it work.
I understand why it didn't. Do you?
