The capacity of human society to have worthwhile conversations is limited, so if we spend a lot of time discussing one thing we won't have enough time to discuss the other thing, which is a problem when the former thing is literally a million times less important than the latter thing. The capacity of American oil refineries has never been higher, and the production of fossil fuels has also never been higher. I see no evidence that leads me to believe that the decline of the fossil fuel industry is a social consensus. And, again, the amount of water used by fossil fuel production and refining globally is literally eight orders of magnitude greater than the water used by information and communications.
