extracting ores from the crust The Earth has an insane amount of material. It's the greatest tragedy that life occupies only the thinnest film on the thinnest edge of the Earth. The more we can make use of the full potential of the Earth, the more life there can be. It's a waste to just leave all that matter buried, doing nothing more than providing gravity. We need to solve the energy usage problem, not its production. More energy means more solutions. Think carbon sequestration, vertical farming, building megastructures to combat sea level rise, climate engineering, or even just pumping heat into space as infrared. We are indeed in a climate crisis, but 85% of the crisis is that people have given up on the future and just want to panic.
