I think things are changing though. Too slowly, but they are changing.
Scotland's renewable/green energy is growing rapidly. It's not enough to heat every home, etc., yet....
I think the huge issue is that we don't want to do without energy. Our very modern lives (the internet we're all using, etc., ) need energy. But that's been true since the first apes made and used fire, and everything we've done thereafter is just building on that.
So, we need to make better use of energy, and we need to be more aware of pollution from our energy production, of all methods, because we know what we're doing to our planet.
The UK and much of N.Western Europe's in a funny situation though, we cannot rely on solar energy to provide enough. Whether that's from panels or from trees grown for firewood, we don't provide enough for our current energy needs. So, that means we need fossil fuels, or nuclear power.
Unless we really do get our act together and embrace the technology Trinity of sun, wind and water power and use it to our best advantage.
I think we'll get there, but we're not there, yet.
