The changing world in which we live will suffer until we all figure out that the old rules of our world no longer apply. We can't simply use gas for the rest of time like they believed back in the early 20th century. Our resources are running thin, and so is a lot of peoples tolerances for the crap we must endure on a daily basis. Most people just want to live their lives as normally as possible, however they envision normalcy, and because of the problems governments end up imposing on them, they've become disillusioned. solar panels, wind power, and renewable energies are what's going to save us from all of the environmental issues, as well as some of the resource depletion, however there are no clear answers for the rest of our worlds problems. Here's to the idea that we can fix everything, but the truth is, there are no real true answers.
