Well see, I don't believe green technologies ARE fads. I believe that is the way of the future. We cannot keep sustaining this planet with fuels that come from oil and coal and such. We should have been on this path for the past 40 years, but after Carter, Reagan threw it all out the window in favor of big oil, going so far as to take the solar panels off the White House. Just think where we would be now if we had continued on the path with solar and wind, et al. We would probably be completely free of our addiction to foreign oil. We would be much more self sufficient as a country, and as a people. I just think the people weren't ready for it because they didn't know enough about it. Then we had too many years of Reaganomics and Bush badmouthing green technology. Now, people are more savvy about this stuff. Younger generations KNOW we have to change our ways. I have been learning about alternative energy since the 70s when I worked at the Science Museum. It is no longer a dream. The future is here. Now.
