But when a process or a policy is put in place, it can be kept in place for years before it reaches its logical conclusion. ISIS didn't start the moment we illegally invaded Iraq, global warming didn't start billion dollar fires the second we found coal to burn, and Fukishima didn't melt down the day after they flipped the switch.

We were supposed to have a green jobs revolution or something else to take the place of the housing/construction bubble and the previous tech bubble. It never happened.

What's the plan, now? Everything is peachy? Pray?
