How then, do we move backwards? How does a society, with most of the people having no clue of future events, move from being dependent on a vast and intertwined network of goods and services produced by the indigenous people of whereever, to a local resource and renewable energy based society, and do so in the timeframe available (20-30 years using the most liberal extimates, 10-20 with resonable estimates, 5-10 with worst case scenarios), all the while prices on everything increasing, world politics getting more militaristic, governments continuously reducing civil liberties, shortages of goods on the market and weather patterns resembling bad Hollywood movies?

Solar-thermal power touted as energy solution
Hydrocarbon Alternatives

Australian scientists have developed a new form of electricity that could provide all of Australia's electricity needs in 2020.

It has been developed by mixing solar energy, heat and natural gas.

In the search to find a cleaner, more efficient form of power, scientists at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) have developed what is called solar-thermal energy.

Does anyone know how the chemistry/physics of this works? Mixing of solar energy, heat, and natural gas? What prey tell can this accomplish? Burned gas? Maybe synthesis gas? Partial combustion so loss of energy there.
