Please read to the end, and even better let me read it to all my friends.
What?
Now I am definitely for renewable energy and solar power, but nothing is perfect.
Oil should be cut out as soon as possible, but this will obviously not happen even though majority of people would surely agree with us.
Money is stronger then democracy, it is those that have money that have biggest votes.
I haven't really read your entire post, I am too lazy for that, but from what I read I see you have a problem with waste of food and etc.
I just want to point out that this is easy to complain about when you imagine the World as one small connected place, but the truth is, World is so big that it is easier to make new food then to transport it, sometimes. And easier means less wasteful, most of the time.
Solar energy isn't perfect, it is better, but it still takes away light from trees, plants and the rest of the ecosystem.
Also we aren't really destroying the planet, this planet went through a lot worse on it's own and all of this carbon we are releasing through burning oil came from the atmosphere in the first place, trapped by plant life that decayed over millions of years into coal and oil.
We are simply changing the planet with a bigger pace then it changed on it's own, which is not that bad for the planet, as it is bad for the creatures on top of the food chain (humans,...). Plants will be just fine when be burn all the oil, we wouldn't, some of our cities would be underwater for start.
So the point here is not that we are hurting the planet as much as we are hurting ourselves with greed.
I don't think anybody will make a rebellion over this, since some small portion of this short term benefit sprinkles over to us.
If we see it though, in another perspective, as big greedy players profiting more over something we all pay for equally, then that is another thing entirely.
You see, we should demand our share, profit from oil companies should be shared equally and directly to every human being on this planet, since all of us are paying for it in the end equally, by living in a less human-hospitable World afterwards.
Now when we all get our share, perhaps then we all equally agree that the profit from it isn't worth it, but the first action would be to take away all the power from oil companies and shut it down for the private sector if the share in the company isn't shared equally along every human in the World.
Individuals simply can't profit for something that we will all suffer in the end equally.
