Here's another technology that has been ready to go into production but languishing since 2009<http://jimbowery.blogspot.com/2014/05/greenhouses-are-not-next-green.html>that, as a minor side effect, solves the oil crisis. Its real benefit is that it reduces the ecological footprint of civilization to near zero.obsolete.
