It's going to restructure and drive the restructuring of society as we know it because this world, like it or not, is an energy-based world. Right now we are living on dirty energy, fossil fuels, or fossil foolishness, and that's polluting and poisoning us and destroying ecosystems, destroying environments, driving climate change, killing species, poisoning water, poisoning aquifers, et cetera. When we pivot out of that nasty fossil foolishness, we don't see the pollution. We don't see rising CO2 emissions. We don't see accelerating greenhouse gasses.” - Dr. Michael K.
