smoke stack scrubbers would likely solve much of the concerns regarding burning hydrocarbons.
crop yields / agriculture / forest systems will benefit substantially by the increase in CO2.
sun only shines 12/24 hours a day.
storing the power is a complex problem. batteris require strip mining a lot of lithium, for example. lots of envrionmental damage there that the green folks like to gloss over. along side manufacturing / recycling panels, etc.
Water batteries. Not glossing over the issues, just have a hard time looking into the future thinking about how we shoulda burned more fossil fuels 🤔🫠
Thanks for chatting, whats a water battery?
Smoke stack scrubbers are cute and they do ‘work’ but what about just evolving past “we burn shit for power” 🤷♂️
I think there’s a technological tipping point that we’re not pursuing as much as we could be due to short term profit seeking behavior.
Yes there is environmental effects for all our current processes, question is what you value most. We’ve got plenty of hydrocarbons for agriculture and I’m telling you…. Water batteries
Micro generation on site with geothermal, solar and sure, natural gas or petroleum. Water tower on site provides trickle down turbine power at night plus some lithium if you need. Sink buildings into the ground partially or completely for passive heat benefit and storm protection.
It’s a painting of interconnected small systems coupled with smart design and efficiency.
