    It's fascinating to think that such a large aspect of the global economy can be at the direction of one man.

I think it's primarily depressing. The only silver lining is the realization that renewables are an inevitability. Naomi Klein makes a very strong argument in her book that those who stand to gain from delaying that inevitability are exactly those who are so often in power: the rich.
