All this focus about environmentalism and efficiency lately is making me think that we're not even daring to look at the supply side of this equation. We should have basically infinite energy situation figured out by now. The fact that we haven't and we're squirming about how to automatically turn off my garage lights is an indictment of our failure as a society. Power generation technology is stagnated to the point where fusion is only 4 years away for over 40 years now. Wind and Solar keeps the population delusional as they feel proud to wear insulated clothes indoors. Poor and middle class struggles are ignored. But, the virtue signaling Berkeley folks will surely tell you how their $1.3M 900 sq ft home is heated using heat pumps. I feel extreme dissappointment in our inability to engineer things everytime I see a Nike shoe box with greenwashing labels. We should aim a lot higher. Like 1000000x higher and solve the problem of energy once in for all. But, something tells me that we will have protests in the year 2200 for engulfing the last 20% of the sun with a dyson sphere. There will be folks trying to campaign for "Leave the sun alone".
