The "push" takes time but each alternative energy source has a downfall, and people want a solution, not a compromise.
Supposedly America's corn ethanol is hurting our food market and it takes as much energy to produce as we'd save.
Batteries for electric cars aren't ready and the production is quite dirty.
If only we had the foresight like Brazil...
