Its hard having smart politicians who have foresight and positive visions, in a world where the media and public live by the negative criteria. If a problem/situation/story does not have a "news alert", breaking news", "emergency" feel, then the media and public does not give it attention. So the smart politicians learn that if they want power, then they need to focus on the negativ criteria.

However a few times each century we are blessed with smart politicians who have foresight, positive visions and the charisma to attract the attention of the media and public - these are the politicians who can build sociaties, begin life changing events, make none violent revolutions, and end up in historybooks decades after as the visionary leaders of the time.

But evolution will make the world use renewable energy - its just a matter of when and how. If we do nothing now, then in time we will face the oil peak, and then the oil crises - now the problem/situation/story is negative enough to get the media and public attention. And at that time the politicians of the world will choose renewable energy, not because its a solution, but becuase it is the only solution.

I would prefer smart politicians who have foresight, positive visions and the charisma to attract the attention, so we can evolve into the renewable energy age without the major crises, and in a way which will make us prosper.
