Where is capitalism when you need it?

I am not really sure capitalism is the problem, rather tech and politics. I mean, do you have any practical alternative to the oil industry and also a handful of skilled politicians that will convince most of the population to consume less than they already do for a few years while we implement this new tech?

The point isn't the economy, is those which consume it: us, we, me and you.

The solutions have been sitting there for a while. The lack of political support is almost entirely due to oil companies. It's just capitalism.
