We need to imagine a world with a fraction of a percent of the fossil fuels we are using now. Renewables are not energy-dense enough to replace them.
The future of energy is thorium.

Right now? I don’t know. It’s a small town in Kentucky that was just about completely leveled by a huge tornado. I am guessing it will be some time before electricity is restored, but to do that I would imagine lots of clean up needs to be done.Lemons wrote: ↑Wed Dec 22, 2021 1:17 amI read the tweet but I guess I’m missing something. Does this town not have electricity?
Both is where it's currently headed. We may possibly still be around (albeit probably old ah, lol) to see the phase out of the most fossil fuels. It's on a trajectory and time & technology will transform how we power earth. It's inevitable. Even companies like EXXONMOBIL are getting in on it. They know it's the future.
There's always two-man saws, shovels, picks, hand saws, wheel barrows, horses, oxen, wagons etc. So it would probably look like that, lol. My husband's great grandfather and his family cleared 100 acres without machines.DSamuels wrote: ↑Wed Dec 22, 2021 1:12 amYou miss the point entirely. When a town is devastated and there is no electricity how will you power and charge your electric items?
You can bring gas in from other places in containers, or even go to another town to fill up. Electricity to power or recharge everything? Not so much. No, it’s not an asinine question. There are people who want want all vehicles electric only.Msprekteacher wrote: ↑Wed Dec 22, 2021 6:54 am The same is said of their gasoline powered products. Sure you may have extra but eventually that will
Run out. Gas stations won’t help as their pumps won’t work. It’s not an interesting question it’s an asinine one.
