Wishful thinking. Not happening. Unless they flat out made adds about the ramifications of using up half million years of stored fossil fuel in 300 years with no back up plan in action. Science education and global resource stewardship in high school is the only hope to open the eyes of the general public. Most kids in the USA take the minimum amount of science and can't read a ruler.
