> By comparison, solar panels and wind turbines are simplistic solutions that do not adequately address these problems. Yes, that's exactly my perspective. The problems are enormously complex and will require a complete rethinking of every process lifecycle. Without that we will inevitably hit one carrying capacity limit or another. Today it's carbon, tomorrow it's water, the day after it's soil. Pasting solar panels all over everything is a gross oversimplification of the work before us as a species. We will find ways to reach for sustainability and settle for mitigation along the way, sometimes only when we are absolutely forced. The solutions will reach into thousands of seperate domains. If the first three centuries of industrial development were about building our capabilities, the next three will be discovering how not to lose them.
