Or everyone could stop pumping oil _right now_. Economics are great and all, but economics is an abstraction layer on top of production - and the economics that we use today are basically spaghetti code on top of production. The largest is

I wish we could test it. I wish there was a way to build an economic area, and a very large one, to test such ideas. What if life is seriously better on the other side? I certainly wish that there was a floor to poverty that is more than

This comment is more in line with what I'd expect, and in response I would imagine that well-managed battery systems probably are pretty low in carbon and other pollution outputs as long as they can be recycled, or based on the amount

The problem with your question wasn't stupidity. It was the disingenuous and trollish way that you presented the question. Socratic learning is definitely a thing, but it's mostly philosophical. In this case, you are asking a qu

There can be ethical issues surrounding lab grown meat, mostly around how much energy it takes to produce lab grown meat, and the nature of that energy production. My guess is that beyond will soon be cheaper than regular meat, but that the

Transport and home comfort are #2 and #3 in the list for your average US citizen for production of carbon output. #1 is food, so in your list, we need to include meat consumption as one of the sacrifices that we must make. This is, stunni

I imagine that whatever culture is developing the vegetarian/vegan food products will do whatever they can to emulate the foods that are already part of their culture, as that is going to be the primary replacement request. In the US,
