The Utopian dream has always been tempered by the reality of the costs in creating it.
I've worked in many new and existing buildings where they try to implement green initiatives and they always end up scaling back when they see the price of sustainability.
Again, I believe that most people on here are intelligent and adaptable enough to accept the change. It's the overpromising that an older (speaking for myself) person might be a little cynical about. Not the technology. We've been promised stuff before like safe streets, the end of poverty and generally a better world. Seems to have gone the other way.
