We have too many carved stone heads in our culture; this is true. At lot of them are in the media, many of them are in government, a few of them hang out at web sites.
While it is true that two-thirds of our planet is water, there are innovations that suggest all that water surface could be employed for solar energy purposes (albeit in smaller batches).
The Japanese islanders may soon succumb to radiation, planting seeds seems headed for Monsanto-ization, things are being genetically modified at an increasing rate, robots are being readied to do most of the heavy work and a lot of the war-fighting, we have troops in over 100 countries, we are war-gaming nuclear war to insure it and setting up offensive shields against nuclear attack, white supremacists lurk in the corners, and the aliens are coming.
We must invest in new weaponry systems that will require vast new quantities of our fiscal capital, social capital, creativity and innovation or they are going to come down here and take our planet away from us because it is getting increasingly warmer (which probably suits them just fine).
