    I guess most of historical civilizations heard of renewables. Why didn’t they have intercontinental flights and chemical fertilizers with a population of 8 billion?

    Do you honestly think we’re going to wave a magic wand and pooff, same lifestyle but with sunshine?

    What’s coming in the next 50 years will make the 21st century so far look like a picnic in the park.

      Whine whine whine. This person will hold their tablet against their chest and bemoan the loss of porn-on-demand while we get to work building sustainable food capacity.

        Well yes, but that means 8 billion people will be a bit of a snug fit on this planet, don’t you think?

        And we had sustainable food capacity up to 1859.

        There’s no more bat guano either.
