I wonder if it is a symptom of postmodernity that many journalists now believe alternative sources of energy can be made to exist merely by wishing hard enough for the right policy formulation and screeching about conspiracy theories to any objections.

Oh, and "science".
It would be extremely hard to claim to any of our ancestors that the freedom to, at any time we choose, jump in a box with wheels, and drive thousands of miles to the other end of the country, is some kind of scam.

And of course, flying...
Flying and mass private transport are developments that have only been with us for as long as living memory.

Yet a *fundamental* and unprecedented material freedom now has it's detractors.

I find that weird. Really, really weird.
They actively hate this freedom. They campaign against it. They see nothing good in it. And they are beginning to dominate public thinking.

It is literally a regressive movement.
