Aren't we bound to fail?

Triage is essential in my view because using conventional approaches -- humanity is bound to fail to test of climate change. For example, in the USA, the FutureGen project (announced in December 2007 as located in Mattoon, Illinois) was meant to lead the charge towards clean coal, we were delighted when, after seemingly interminable delays, a site for the plant was finally announced. We seem doomed, however, as, astonishingly, just a month later, on January 29, the US Department of Energy announced that it was withdrawing funding from the project. The reasons for this catastrophic decision remain obscure, but lawyers representing Illinois claim the real reason is that Texas lost the bid to host the plant, and this cost the project its political support.
