The current population is made possible by fossil fuels and if we get off of them too fast, million will die... We don't have nearly enough of any alternative to actually get off of fossil fuels in general. In addition, only fossil fuels make sense for military operations, which will forever be a necessity.
- pfdietz 2y agoWe don't at this instant have enough, but of what relevance is that? The relevant question is how rapidly we can move to the alternatives.
- wakawaka28 2y agoThat isn't what the comment I replied to said. Paraphrasing, they said in present tense, that we have enough alternatives to support the current population and that we can only survive if we eliminate fossil fuels. But the truth is we desperately need fossil fuels now and alternatives are still mostly lame and undeveloped. Furthermore, we need more energy than ever to run AI according to current projections. People on here are quick to condemn people for eating meat but they're fine with dubious uses of electricity for lame AI.
