Different control mechanisms, same goal.

Clean energy is abundant on this planet. That's exactly why the investors and governments don't want to use it. Eventually, there will be no gain for them, because the cost to produce clean energy will amount to almost nothing for the consumers.

70% of this word is covered by oceans, seas, rivers and lakes, which produce massive currents. If government aroud the world chose to use tidal energy plants on a planetary scale, combined with solar plants, geothermal plants (see Iceland, they want to export electricity), windmills and the recovery of gasses produced by natural waste, combine into a worldwide network, there wouldn't even be a debate about it.

Also, electricity would be abundant enough to massively produce hydrogen for cars.

Unfortunately, we do not live in a resource-based economy and the motives of investors, governments and other powers that be are anything but noble. They'd rather sell their sould to the devil and mess up this planet in spite of all the knowlege and the fact that there is no amount of money that could ever replace a ruined planet, not the mention the burden on future generations.

So articles like the ones in this post can be dismissed as sick propaganda.
