The market has solved these problems. I have the reverse problem. It is not conceivable to me that a knowledge base could encompass the knowledge of all the market participants. It is clear that the best opinion of all the energy market participants today is that the problems are not as serious and immediate as some people claim. If they were, intelligent people would be investing accordingly.
Markets do work.
I must say that any theory that fails to acknowledge this, and to take into account the human motivations of self-interest, is seriously flawed, in my opinion. Quite frankly, I feel that a reliance on centralized mechanisms to manage social problems is not only foolhardy but very dangerous. The repeated failures of centrally-managed economies show this. Central management elites believe that they know better than the unwashed masses that compose markets. Time and time again they have been proven wrong.
