Wow CYPWROCKS, with that kind of thinking we are doomed to live in a state of perpetual economic crisis. It's like saying we don't want to invest in automobiles at the turn of the 1800's -1900's because you want to protect the buggy whip makers!! Yikes, talk about retro. (or were you just kidding?)
You've got to use your imagination here - like with the advent of the micro processor. That development didn't just benefit the corporate IBM types it created a whole new industry and new potential for everyone.
This technology takes us beyond fossil fuel - once we get THERE, a whole new economic paradigm opens up.
