It is a sad state of affairs that long term approaches to profit are not more prized. US industry paired with massive government subsidy/partnership could work together effectively, as exemplified historically by the creation of the internet, modern computing and telecommunications infrastructure, and look at this dire situation we find ourselves in as an opportunity to compete on a global level to produce renewable and green energy technologies. Seems like a missed opportunity on a number of fronts. This article brings to mind an interview I watched earlier today - Chris Hedges has a show, On Contact, which airs on RT - he recently interviewed Christian Parenti, author of 'Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence' (aired 6.18.2017). They addressed positive feedback loops, violence that has climate change as the impetus, migration and refugee status and more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELqZe6Xqwzc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELqZe6Xqwzc
