The problem of political will seems to me to be one of money. Many if not most governments are already funded substantially via debt. The massive outlays required to make a real difference will be nigh on impossible to obtain unless the average voter starts to see tangible, daily consequences. And then the economic consequences of so much money creation would be hard to manage. Ironically, the system itself is threatened by collapse, so trying to operate within the system to get the problem solved seems like folly...if you could get everyone to agree, perhaps we could simply wipe the "debt" away somehow. Find some other way to "pay for it". But our financial constructs are so fundamental to daily life, it's hard to imagine what that would look like.

We have politicians asking if we can change the orbit of the moon because changing the system which is creating these problems somehow seems more impossible. I cannot fathom how a system created by humans cannot be changed by humans, but here we are.
