And what do you suggest can be done to convince India and China to cripple their exploding economies by reducing consumption?

And how do you plan to feasibly introduce green energy for even 25% of the planet, much less all of it?

Ah yes, the old "the other guy does it so I do not have to change, too".

Here is the really frustrating part of it: Instead of spending all those billions in Irak, the US could have built/started to build, for less money nonethless, enough solar power plants to generate all the electricity required to run the country. Would have created new jobs, too. But who cares as long as big oil industry runs the country..

And everybody would be poorer... because solar power is way too expensive at current.  Solar Power doesn't work viably... outside of like... Nevada because of where it's located. 

The only viable way to really do solar power is individually.  Put solar panels on your roof and sell excess energy back to the grid if you can.  Actual solar power plants are WAAAAAAAY too costly to produce good results.

Plus honestly, they don't make very good primary power plants, because you never know how much power you are going to generate day to day, and the battery methods are still pretty shakey.  So you need to take up WAY more land then you'll probably use on most days, just for the few days you wouldn't.
