Just look what happened when Martin Luther attempted to change the structure of the Catholic church!

@ozgirl512 Often the most efficient way to change structures is through working directly with the government. But some governments and institutions will be resistant to change or slow to progress. While keeping protection in mind, creating alternative structures can enable more widespread public acceptance, even without government and societal buy in.

@SW-User I think you're right in that for two reasons ... One is that most people are just uncomfortable with change, and that change threatens existing power bases ... You have this incredibly silly situation now where more forward thinking countries are teaching ahead in renewable energy while many are mired in the coal industry and refuse to give it up
