What can we do to change the minds of decision makers and people in general to actually do something about preparing for the forthcoming economic/energy crises (the ones after this one!)?

Wow that infographic shows a lot of vested interest fingers in a lot of pies.

But the representatives of us voters obviously declare a conflict of interest, and don't take part in any political activity that supports their business interests. They do, don't they? I can't imagine that people who put so much time and effort into running the country on our behalf would do otherwise. It's only right and fair, isn't it?

It would be interesting to see what a similar infographic for renewable energy would look like.
