I'm only being a little snarky here, but i thought global warming was supposed to have devastating effects on all of us? Perhaps the kind of societal-wide technological progress you describe will not continue unabated because wel'll have other major problems to address.
Well the argument against green tech was that it will become better later so why invest now. I guess all the computer companies like Tandy shouldn't have bothered bothered because now we have timer more powerful computers and they are out of business.
Same thing when they were sequencing the genome. They did the bulk of it in the last couple of years, so it seemed like the first decade was a waste of time, but it didn't get that fast until they took the previous steps.
