using green energy, but then you would have to have electrified farm machinery. Possible in the very long term (2040-2050), nut not before. There are no replacements for petroleum in fertilizers/pesticides, so that's still a problem. Also, some of the biomass involves the production of methane, which is again, problematic.

I agree that we hate change, but it kind of depends on the change, and what monied interest is opposing it. PCs/Internet slipped in pretty easy. Cell phones were fought, then co-opted by Ma Bell (they have pretty much undone the Bell break-up off the 80s).

Right now EVs/Green energy are opposed by some pretty big players, so, it is likely to be a knife fight for the next decade.

Trouble is, that may be too late. In fact, I personally believe it is already too late. If so, then change comes in an uglier manner.
