"We shy away from changing how we make cars, because we're concerned about jobs in the auto industry. We hesitate to halt destructive energy extraction, because we worry about the trickle of revenue it generates. We never acknowledge that the price of preserving the status quo far exceeds what it would take to break free of the current paradigm. Faced with eminent starvation, we can't stop fighting over the last can of beans long enough to plant a garden."

The cost of going green becomes less and less with each dollar increase in oil. Eventually the economics will support going green which will result in the explosion of a young industry(s).
