Is the Public Sold on Renewable Energy?

According to this article, if Switzerland's turnout during the Swiss exhibit on sustainable energy is to be used as the barometer to answer this article's post title, then we are all doomed. The turnout in Switzerland's recently concluded first Renewable energy fair was so dismal that at one point exhibitors outnumbered the visitors. So does this mean people do not want to participate in the renewable energy movement?

Not really. It appears that most people are interested but are not as excited about the cost of a lifestyle change from fossil fuel based to renewable energy based. Its getting interesting, but I think the skeptics will have to work with the believers soon, or soon we wont have anything to debate on.
