No, it is an useful piece of data.
The American way of life is not sustainable. Even among developed countries the US is an outlier in terms of their use of resources and energy.
- brianwawok 4y agoWho gets to decide that? So far tech has enabled us to keep up. Why can't it continue? We have plenty of sun that hits the desert of the country to power 10x our current energey usage. We have plenty of places to put nukes. Lots of land for wind.
- mytailorisrich 4y agoThere may be technologies that would enable American energy consumption at global scale. Whether it is realistic is not certain, though. But in terms of resources it is simply not possible. If every human being consumed as many resources as an average American then the planet would go up in smoke in 6 months. That's not really an opinion, these are the numbers.
