In that case, solar energy isn't long-run sustainable either -- the sun is going to burn out in just a few billion years.
- GekkePrutser 4y agoNo but that's a problem that's truly far away. Fuel is a problem now and it will be for 10.000 years. Considering we've never had a civilisation last more than a few hundred, and we haven't been able to live even a hundred without major wars, this is really a problem IMO.
- CRConrad 4y ago> Considering we've never had a civilisation last more than a few hundred [years] ... Huh? Current "Western" (= more or less global) civilisation is a direct continuation (via the Renaissance and Enlightenment) of medieval European civilisation, which was a pretty direct continuation (via "Dark ages" and Migration Era) of antique Graeco-Roman civilisation. So a couple millennia, not centuries.
