No it isn't and
Al, no you wouldn't.

I welcome a better path. We inhabit the infrastructure from the past as well as community & city planning.

The problems in shifting over to a new technology are multiple.
1 The reluctance of oil tycoons to give up their monopoly fortune.
2 The new technology can disrupt time and space while altering gravity.
The concept of a wall or a safe would be meaningless in that world.
3 The great forces involved, even if green, could annihilate more than gas would when poorly handled.
4 The inequity between haves and have nots would be far greater than mere yachts helicopters   and jets.
5 A simple navigation mistake could cause premature aging.
6 We are not ready for a new technology of enormous energies under the direction of little old ladies from Pasadena.

We are in the age of Democrats and conservatives. We must work toward the age of Technocrats and Democrats first. Or we could get horses instead of cars and Conestoga Trump wagons instead of trucks. Even trains would be nice.

Maybe someday we might ask, "should I buy a Panther ufo"?
