Only if we permit it!
There are three SALVATION INNOVATIONS that I hope will prove you wrong. The internet, 3D printing and renewable energy. The thing that concerns me is that we may end up paying outrageous amounts for AIR and WATER and FOOD if the power that be continue to pollute the environment. Energy alone is not enough. We need SELF-SUFFICIENCY as much as possible. If we don't fight to get it, we will be doomed to be servants to the corporations and plutocrats.
