- bawolff 4y agoI'm pretty sure we still plan to have lights in our renewable energy utopia.
- Jill_the_Pill 4y agoWe don't need them as indiscriminately and wastefully as we currently have them.
- vkou 4y agoWhen solar is providing us electricity at 2 cents / KWH, we will use them even more indiscriminately.
- redeeman 4y agoand in this far-from-reality-now story, im sure many things will be different.
- marcosdumay 4y agoWell, for lighting the battery costs are more relevant. But nowadays you don't even need to wire electricity to the place you want to floodlight, so yes, we will only use them more.

- korroziya 4y agoYour ability to read their post as well as your ability to reply to it is thanks to fossil fuels. The food you eat is thanks to fossil fuels. Your entire lifestyle, from heating your home to taking your medicine: thanks to fossil fuels. If you don't like it, take your clothes off and go live in a cave.
- _AzMoo 4y agoEven if I wanted to do that I couldn't because everybody else's indiscriminate use of fossil fuels is destroying the environment I would need to sustain me. Literally the point of the article you've responded to.
