idk, to me saying that fossils can be replaced by 2050 is pretty much same as saying that climate change cannot be stopped. I think the discussion has largely moved from preventing the climate change to trying manage how bad it will be, as it seems pretty inevitable at this point.

- d0mine 4y agoThe fact that we might have a technology to do something says nothing about whether it is actually will be done. For example, there is no need for war, we can feed everyone using the technology available today but it is almost certain millions will continue to die from hunger every year and of cause the peace is just a wild dream.
