In the short and medium term, green technologies almost always translates into higher costs for consumers (ie. higher electric bills) not to mention the up front costs. Long term is still an experiment.

Here’s the rub. Our pricing mechanism do not translate into proper value. They are myopic, every day there are less and less non-renewable resources and yet the price still goes down. Why is that? The availability is less?

A barrel of oil is equivalent to about a year of human physical labor on a BTU level. BTUs are real our pricing mechanisms are not.
