> Rather than asteroid mining, what I want in my lifetime is an end to mining, period
Probably typed on an aluminum Macbook, containing boron-doped silicon chips, in a house heated by natural gas and powered by the same or by coal
- TheSpiceIsLife 10y agoYes, but wanting it and stating so is a status symbol of holier-than-thou ecology.
- astazangasta 10y agoI'm mystified by how many comments in this thread are of this form, unable to imagine that technology in the future might differ from what we currently employ. We are in the middle of a project, right now, to make natural gas and coal obsolete. This shouldn't even require any imagination to conceive. Yet, still, you chastise me for doing so? Recall, we're imagining the future, not regurgitating the present.
- dcposch 10y agoIt's safe to say that the future will still use metal to build things. Saying you want roughly 100% fossil free energy is bold but might happen in our lifetime. Saying you want to end all mining period is just environmentalist virtue signalling.
