- angelzen 5y agoI presume we should destroy oil/gas/coal. That would wipe out ~85% of world's energy production. Might I ask how are we going to power the gigantic engineering project envisioned, on top of somehow keeping people from freezing and/or starving? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_supply_and_consumption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_supply_and_consum...
- arcanon 5y agoSwap it out for electric. I like how the “other” category of renewables is an exponential. The question is does that exponential get us to where we need to be in 10 years. If the answer is no, then we need to think about what minimizes overall damage the most. I wonder what nation will be in last place for who is the cleanest. If theyre stubborn about burning gas I dont care about their sovereignty. I dont think I will be alone on that.
- rewgs 5y agoAgreed, though "destroy" is a bit of an inflammatory word. I'll add to your list: degrowth.
- arcanon 5y agoOh and i forgot the most important one: high resolution satellite pollution maps. A close second is military grade electric flight research.
