Well put! My power went out for and hours-long stretch recently, and it only highlighted how much richer my life is because our society figured out how to provide everyone energy at very low cost. The question now is whether we can keep doing so, while diminishing the externalities to a sustainable level. I think we can! The next question is how to do it. There is no one simple trick that's gonna do it. In my view, figuring this out is the work of our era. In other eras, people have figured out how to make enough food to feed everyone, how to move people around quickly, how to communicate across great distances near-instantaneously, and all sorts of other things. I think this is ours. That's scary but it's also exciting. We can be heroes!
