Unfortunately, many people are unrealistic. People in general demand quick, simple, easy and singular solutions to complex problems that cover massive ranges of financial, geographical, political, cultural, and individual variances with no tolerance, and they honestly believe they are being fair and reasonable when they do so. Example: Idea: "New houses could have cheap batteries built into their foundations, cheaply decreasing the load on the electrical grid and providing a backup source to cover temporary power outages." Response: "Well, that's not going to completely solve the energy crisis, restore CO2 to pre-industrial revolution levels and avert the polar ice caps from melting, so what's the point?" And they think that this response is rational.
