I think another example of "green optimism" came out of Obama's address from the Oval Office. He told America that if we can win WWII and put a man on the moon, we can solve our dependency on fossil fuels.

But there's a missing piece: the soldiers in WWII had the Pentagon and Neil Armstrong had NASA. What's the man on the street supposed to do to solve the fossil fuel problem? Is it time for an organized, funded effort? Or are we going to talk nice and wait for a solution to drop out of the sky?

The following link is to a satirical video, but it underscores this issue in real terms.
