I was sitting with my beautiful children one night watching TV the news was on and the major news for the day was the crazy price of fuel. I wondered why alternatives were still hard to find and inefficient.

*Molly? What’s happening with fossil fuel alternatives?* I asked into the ether.

I was restlessly turning in the night when Molly called.
*Helen, I’ve been doing some analysis of the changes that are in progress.*

Chapter 20 Epilogue

Looking back from my verandah in Brisbane, it all seems so distant now.

Laying there in the morning light listening to mum and dad gently sleeping I pondered my immediate future.
