We obviously should have done that 60 years ago when climate change was becoming recognized. We didn't because it would impact profits and slightly modify our way of life. Now that impact is much greater so people dont want to change. The problem is we will eventually have to address it and pushing it off to the next generation is compounding the problem.

Sounds like so many other problems the boomer generation has "dealt with". The real barriers now are large corporations and legislation. Unfortunately the US is largely run by ancient slugs in the pocket of big money.
