sudden growth or an explosion in new energy technologies would destroy multinational energy monoliths. for that reason alone it will never be allowed.

they will allow technology to advance only at a pace that enables the current 'big players' to have a major piece of the emerging energy technology pies...

no self respecting pubbie or democrat is going to kill off or other wise disenfranchise their biggest $$$ supporters and allies in the energy drama club.

but I do agree with your "should haves" heartily.

All change is threatening to somebody and at some point necessity must win the day.

I don't care if the people with current power want to be able to afford 24K gold jock straps, the people will drive the innovations forward IMO. If not here, some small less industrialized country will all of a sudden have it and pass it on IMO.

You give industialists too much credit for being able to rule the world IMO.
