You are wrong. The earth is getting bombarded with free (as in money) energy from the sun at all times. It is a matter of logistics and political will to use that energy to its fullest extend. There can be prosperity and nature preservation at the same time thanks to technology.
My sister is building an off grid house right now with a huge solar array and a tesla power wall. If all goes well she won't have to pay for electricity, heating or gas for the car ever again.
- ciconia 6y agoIf only this were that simple. To make electricity out of the sun's energy and in addition to store it, you need some materials coming from the depth of the earth: lithium, silicate, copper, iron, and I guess dozens of metals and rare earth metals. Have a look at how those are extracted, and the (fossil) energy used in extracting, refining, transporting and fabricating all those solar panels and batteries.
