With better technology, you can: * reduce ocean acidification by reducing CO2 — which is the primary cause of ocean acidification — emitted per unit of energy

With better technology, you can: * reduce ocean acidification by reducing CO2 — which is the primary cause of ocean acidification — emitted per unit of energy generated. For instance, solar panels are becoming more effective and affordable, and this progress is happening at a rapid rate. Wind turbines are advancing nearly as fast. There's also progress in carbon capture and storage technology, which can directly reduce the amount of CO2 entering the atmosphere. Nuclear energy also has enormous potential. * create new topsoil and increase the amount of food produced per unit of topsoil. For example, the use of GPS and IoT devices in agriculture allows farms to optimize planting and harvesting, toincrease output while reducing topsoil degradation. The same applies to the rapidly progressing fields of hydroponics and vertical farming * recycle more precious metals, and access more precious metals in the Earth's crust, and outside of the Earth. This also applies to material classes other than precious metals, including critical minerals like lithium, where companies are developing methods to more efficiently recycle lithium from batteries. The steady improvement of compost system manufacturing and distribution meanwhile makes topsoil generation more accessible and affordable. * generate more fresh water, through technologies like desalination and more efficient water filtration systems, which makes previously unusable water drinkable. Many of these are energy intensive, and the potential to expand clean energy output is absolutely enormous, from sources including solar, nuclear fission reactors and nuclear fusion reactors.
