Don’t call them boomers then. Call them people over 50 or 60… they are a majority demographic-wise. Younger immigrants can’t vote, so even asking young people to vote you still have a majority of old people that can vote.
Educating a dwindling numbers of young people won’t help if the whole population grows older and older. Baby boomers are pulling the average well above 50 and are more reliable voters (despite educating young people). You gotta convince the boomers of voting for a future.
It’s an aging voter base with an average age around 50, maybe even older. Sure, it’s great younger people finally go voting, but a majority will always be older for the coming election cycles.
Forget technology. Even scientists’ and engineers’ wettest dreams don’t consider technologies that capture even a tenth of the billions of tons of CO2 we release on a yearly basis.
If you look closely at the numbers it’s hard to understand that we engineer ourselves out of this mess.
Solar, wind etc. is all nice. Nuclear fisson, cold and hot fusion, okay. We’re far away of anything useful. Capital is just in the wrong hands.
