In order to prepare society for this future it is important to improve energy understanding on all levels in society and for this education and "visibility" are important ingredients.

I couldn't agree more - but getting our politicians to acknwoledge there is a problem is no easy thing. In the UK, where in a few short years we have gone from being oil and gas exporter to an importer of both you would think the government might take note - no chance I'm afraid, they think energy grows on trees - and now we've used up all our own we'll just go use some one elses instead.
