Is the Venus Project just a whimsical idea or a real world possibility?

The Venus Project is an exciting and refreshing way to look at the theoretical possibilities for mankind if we can shed some of our primitive and limited thought processes which currently hold us back as a species, but how feasible is it?

I've been exploring this in great detail I find myself surprised at how possible the creation of a new social structure like the one outlined in the Venus Project may actually be.

The things that make this concept unrealistic are biproducts of our current culture, which would not exist in the society outlined in the Venus Project

Even if this is something we do not realize in or lifetime it is certainly interesting to consider and well worth our serious attention.
