Politicians don't solve problems proactively -- others than promoting 
themselves, of course. They can afford to as their voters are letting
them get away with it. Unfortunately, the approach of denying them
attention they thrive on is even less obvious.

Expecting them to react differently is not rational.

What would be rational is to form a lobby, or to create a technology
which bypasses the people and the problems. Small-scale individually
owned decentral energy production systems, and especially production
production systems would be that technology.
