As the capitalistic machine arrives at full speed at the edge of the cliff, it can neither steer away nor slow down, it builds instead a makeshift bridge to fall into the ocean 30 years later.

Switching all energy sources to "renewable" today without changing our production, consumption and lifestyle would only build a longer bridge without altering the catastrophic outcome. Only by questioning unregulated capitalism and globalized consumerism can we slow down the engine and steer away from the cliff.

Not sure where the bridge metaphor brought me, but thanks for the good article : )
