We know how to fix this problem, it’s literally our own stupidity that even makes it a problem. Things will get bad, but it’ll be fixed as soon as the middle class are uncomfortable enough. It’s the poor that have the most to lose.

We didn’t know we where living on earth “wrong” until we went to space and could gather data to prove it, our best technology to combat the “wrongness” has all come from space exploration. Computers solar panels etc. Putting humans in unique situations leads to unique solutions that then get absorbed by the race for other uses. That’s why we use algorithms made to chart the stars to find cancer, science is freaking amazing.

Good idea, but that would mean less money so it’s not gonna happen. Cross your fingers and hope that ether true AI is for some reason not possible or true AI is very friendly towards human life. Both of those are big ifs

Humans have lived through worse lol they’ll get over it.

The moon is believed to be full of hydrogen, and we have the ability to mine that from the soil with simple automated machines. We probably won’t have people permanently on the moon but I’d be surprised if trips to mars don’t start with a overnight trip to the moon.

We already put a huge dent in it last year, we dragged like 10% or some crazy amount out. Also there’s less than what was previously believed leading some to believe something might be consuming it. (Something we’ve seen in genetically made creatures but never in nature) the oceans are currently more at risk from climate change than plastic (small comfort)

This is the future solution, todays solution is to green up the grid as much as possible, hopefully by 2050 this technology is ready and we can have a net negative emissions

You can buy one for 26k and to be honest there aren’t many new vehicles worth a damn that’s cheaper than that, it’s not fair but it’s probably as good as one can expect from anything worth buying.

Ya I’d personally make the grid as a government issue, our taxes should cover it the same way we cover the roads, but I don’t buy people against solar will never go solar, they said the same stuff about LED bulbs and now it’s the norm, and here in the American south where I live solar is popping up everywhere on houses. I think in 10-20 years solar will just be common on new houses the way microwaves are.

There is a lot of underhanded deals and agreements that need to stop, I’m not saying there is no corruption because there definitely is, my only point was we need to pay something still to pay for the shiny new grid we need to go with all this space age technology. I personally was gonna buy some land and throw some solar panels on it, but turns out my state’s electric company has a legal agreement to buy most it’s energy from one oil company, so they informed me they’d pay me for 3c for every 17 worth of electricity I made, ya they wanted to make a 82% profit. I understand how unfair they are.

I do believe the amount is to high, it also is different state by state. Going off grid is nice but does cut into the promise of solar, you charge my house when it’s dark here, and I charge yours when it’s dark there, and we both charge the city’s. We need more humans working together not more going our own way, but there is room for some of us to cut ties, just not all or even most.

I don’t believe it needs to be 90 dollars, but it’s a fact not a opinion solar is becoming both more popular,efficient,cheaper. When the average American is selling energy energy becomes worth less, but the systems in which that energy travels still has value and need. Maybe it would be 8 dollars or less but there is a price minimum we have to create in order to pay real people to take care of infrastructure we all use, it’s no different than the road.

In theory the fee would be less their too, idk how your state works (some don’t have any fee yet) but it’ll be different state by state, California is a crazy place compared to the mid west.

If you pay for gas you have to include that charge to the savings, because us electric folk don’t pay for that. Also I’m guessing you’re in the north (most gas users are) it’s cheaper to hear a house than cool one. You’re fellow southern citizens use more energy in general than you.

The electric system has to become a subscription service, the grid can’t be replaced, and can’t be repaired for free. Unless we find a magic way to fix the grid their has to be a minimum charge. It’s not anti competition because you aren’t competing with the electric company, your dependent on it. Wake up and recognize we have to work together still in order for this solar thing to work, you charge my house when it’s dark here, I charge yours later.

If you can go for it, most states it’s illegal to go off grid, that said I know my state Oklahoma has no laws against it so look up your local state laws

It actually makes sense, you still are dependent on the grid but pay nexts to nothing a month for its upkeep. A fee of some form is needed to make sure we have power when it’s cloudy. And power lines cost money to fix. 90 bucks sucks but most people pay 200 ish a month so it’s still worth the cost.

See when you guys say this history actually does say you’re wrong, we have screwed up environments and even our Ozone layer and fixed it, when people care about something the market(literally just our collective will) does acknowledge it. The Ozone is healing and the wolfs and bison are back. We control this planet and Humpy turns out to be child’s play to us to put back together.

Actually even our strip mines are becoming more green, as machines that once where gas powered are becoming electric. Right now every ton of lithium lets out about a 2 tons of carbon, but that number is both dropping and less than a gas powered vehicle produces in a year. So as long as you drive your EV for 5 plus years yes, it is unapologetically a step in the right direction.

Idk why they are saying the first generation failed, it hasn’t really died yet. Space travel has never been a quick process if it’s done by NASA or private companies. The question isn’t if they’ll mine an asteroid but when will they, the money is their and practicality doesn’t matter to the market. We want to mine in space so we will make it cost effective, hopefully will outlaw mining on earth someday.
