Doubt it is nationalism, just that there is more overt greenness in Europe because investors demanded it. The weird bit is, despite many offshore companies being listed, Texas is still blaming 'environmental crusaders in Washington, D.

This certainly depends on the genre. There are a number of major genres that do not age well. Older readers can be happy reading the fiction that reflects the world they grew up in, but to new readers reactions can rank between 'quaint
