longweekend,
Wouldnt you rather be using renewable energy tho?
id rathe be flying a rocket pack to work and shops as well. but i am constrained by REALITY. R/E is not the saviour of the environment nor is it anywhere near an economic substitute for fossil energy at this stage.
What I WANT still ahs to match up with what i can actually HAVE.
its only in green-inspired wankfests that the luxury of expecting everythign I want seems to matter.
You say you are constrained by reality yet you have admitted that you believe in fairy tales.. One is a lie because you can’t have both mate.
R/E is definitely an environmental saviour compared to fossils/nuclear and on its own it is about as close as you will get to a saviour.
The economic cost of fossil fuels is huge, it creates death and wars in places like Africa ruins entire ecosystems and is polluting the very air and planet we need to even exist.
It is also extremely ignorant to be dependent a resource which is so heavily monopolised by one small group.
We have an economy and corpocracy which is suppressing the advancement of renewable energy, something that has been a mastered science for over half a century.
Renewable energy is advancement; you cannot have infinite growth in a finite world longweekend.
You share the same problem most in western society have which is not giving a shyt about something until it affects you directly. We need to be adults and solve problems before they get out of hand.
you are missing the point, dimmest of the dim. R/E is not economic yet nor is it in any way able to generate the amount of energy we need. if it could, dont you think we would already be doing that? are you that dim to not realisethat people will always choose cheaper over more expensive?
wake up.
