Reply to comment by Mr_Hu-Man in is it ignorant for me to constantly have the singularity in my mind when discussing the future/issues of the future? by blxoom
Human greed is a huge issue, the reason both the US and China won’t drop the coal industry is because of money, when you look at most other countries like France or Canada, the zero emissions goal with renewable energy is approaching fast.
You’re entirely correct, we have the technology right now. The issue is human nature and the desire for superpowers to remain top tog by spending less on energy costs. People always think about short term benefits and ignore long term disaster consequences.

Renewable bring cash and growth, but it is a lot more spread out through a lot of different level of society which should strengthening those same institution and weakening authoritarian regime
