Dear finallyfaith:

thank you for your optimism! This just "in" from my Spirit guides--they are on the same page as you: "What is needed is soul-driven science. When humans who carry great mental capacity as 'inventors' and 'seers' into the future, who look for ways to heal the poisons created that dwell now in all parts of Gaia's realm-waters/soil/air/body--when (these humans) are soul-inspired and combine their dreams and visionary scientific minds with Spirit, then greatness will be brought forth...There already is the machinery for destruction in place--why can not the great minds who developed and set forth this machinery use their vast knowledge and skills for the greater 'good' of the planet, instead of the destruction of the planet? It is a matter of intent, of mindset, of Spirit."

Yes, I would participate in a forum addressing these issues. I, too, believe we have sufficient brain-power and financial resources to develop sustainable energy, it IS a matter of priority as you say. I don't think the government has a vested interest in changing the status quo, however, as "profits over people" still prevails. I think the new ways of doing things will have to come from private industry, and the will of the people to force change upon the government.
