This article seems unreasonable at first.  But is it?  The article calls for a huge amount of money and land to be dedicated to wind turbines and solar plants.  It seems reasonable that such a large amount of those could supply the energy we need.  Then again, the true problem arises.  Such a huge endeavor would require a great majority of people.  This would require massive paradigm shifting.  Right now, most  of us are happy with oil and coal; we have not yet been affected by shortages or anything that quickly gains our attention.

 This is a good idea, but ineffective because we as a society are lazy and not as forward-thinking as we might like.  We tend no to change until change is demanded.  Perhaps, the world will eventually turn to sustainable energy, but probably not until the other energy sources have been depleted.  Then again, at the rate they are being used up, maybe that is very soon in the future.
