>It's likely that we will solve climate change through technology like carbon capture rather than simply by reducing/curtailing energy usage. Maybe. But that can't be used as an excuse to not even attempt to curtail energy usage. And I mean sure, it's possible that the agglomeration effects from such travel would 1) be more significant than what is already available via remote work over the internet, 2) be significant enough to offset the increased energy usage from the increased travel itself and building all the infrastructure for even greater sprawl, 3) result in technology that somehow solves climate change but doesn't have the same social forces against it as the technology we have today that's better than the status quo. But that's a lot of assumptions. Do you really want to bet the planet on it?
