The Germans have an origin myth: Can it help lead the retreat from fossil fuels?

Humanity as a whole on the planet has to eventually move away from the heavy reliance and use of fossil fuels. I doubt we will ever move totally away from it or need to, but...
 
Oh yeah, about that myth

The Germans have an origin myth: It says they came from the dark and impenetrable heart of the forest. It dates back to the Roman historian Tacitus, who wrote about the Teutonic hordes who massacred Roman legions, and it was embellished by German Romantics in the 19th century. Through the upheavals of the 20th century, according to ethnographer Albrecht Lehmann, the myth remained a stable source of German identity. The forest became the place where Germans go to restore their souls—a habit that predisposed them to care about the environment.
