For your argument to make sense, a single farmer's decision would need to have the ability to change the outcome, and it doesn't.
Otherwise not doing this makes about as much sense as cleaning a cup of coffee to save and orphan from a shark.
- Retric 9y agoPeople don't suddenly use enough more coal because you use less to make your choice meaningless. Further scale provides efficiency. If only 1/10 as many people use gas powered cars then gas stations become harder to find pushing more people to electric cars. Similarly as more people go off grid staying on grid becomes more expensive pushing ever more solar adoption.
