Another Example of Profit Totalitarianism

If only we had enough "incentive" to harness renewable energy sources!  This radio program discusses technologies that have been around for some time, but the lack of incentive has stifled their use.  It's too bad that the incentive of having cleaner air and reduced global C2 emissions aren't enough.  Not in a profit model.  Ho-hum, we humans can be so dumb.

Instead of seeing the nature of the profit machine and how it obstructs innovation and adoption of technologies--across all sectors--that have the potential to improve our well-being, we put teams together to come up with clever ways of creating a profit incentive from these technologies.  Even those at the top of economic food chain still have to breathe dirty air and they cannot escape climate change.
