Nice piece. You touch on the big issues. The general public is not really aware of all the damage fracking does to the environment and the harm it causes to the water supply, nor is it aware that the wars fought in the Middle East, including the one currently taking place in Syria, are mostly about control of the energy supply. Fortunately the use of renewable energy is increasing, in large part because the economics themselves are starting to make more sense. In many parts of the country, solar power is becoming price competitive with conventional energy. In the end, dollars and cents will probably drive adoption even though it's the right thing to do.
