Renewable energy and more efficient energy use are the ways to go, but you shouldn't wait for the political will and a top-down approach. There are biomass sources and processing methods that can be used by the poor. There are new and more efficient stoves for cooking with less fuel. There are newer, more effective solar cookers coming out too. You can solve many organic waste problems with anaerobic digestion to produce methane fuel gas. Plans for building digesters are available on the internet. They can be made quite inexpensively. They can also be bought "off the shelf" on the internet: a well proven technology. Among the feedstocks that you can use for biomass are the aquatic weeds that choke so many of your waterways. They are terrifyingly renewable. They can also be made into biomass briquettes. So much can be done at the local level. The people must do the labor. Why wait for the FG?
