Most definitely the "alternative" energy sources have issues when compared to fossil fuels (isn't it convenient that energy production is divided into "hydrocarbons" or "alternative"? It makes one think of a tattooed solar panel or wind turbine with an axis piercing).

Also most definite is that smart apes are the ones that plan ahead and start moving in the right direction before they have to abandon most of their gear and run, because even though they were camping in a forest full of desiccated trees they didn't believe the apes who said that they should be careful with fire.

The main stumbling block to most good things is the lack of global cooperations and agreement, sometimes it almost seems like people with lots of money and power deliberately block attempts at peace or agreements that place human dignity and ecological biodiversity above anyone's profits.

Of course, that's just plain silly, almost superstitious, right?

Right?
