Emigration and performing energy intensive work where the heat can just radiate away makes sense, but a world in which we pump 100s of Terawatts through the atmosphere as microwaves because we are dissatisfied with the 100s of terawatts falling on areas we have already paved is not one driven by environmentalism, but by avarice.
- pencilguin 4y agoThere is some truth in that. But of course we can collect solar and wind power on crop- and pastureland while still using it for those things. I doubt we will be returning much of either to nature, even though about 1/3 of the US maize crop now goes into vehicle fuel, which demand ought to start to fall off eventually. In principle that land could be returned to nature, but I doubt it will be.
