I love the idea of environmental friendly humans. Just as if we watch any episode of ALONE, survival is tough and burning that stored carbon tree flesh to keep warm on a cold night is not something we can solve by telling the participants to build a geothermal passive heating tubes out of coconuts. This is the real rub. The fly in the ointment. We would not have achieved eight billion humans by telling the one billion humans in 1800 they couldn't use coal or oil or any stored carbons. Why are we suddenly so confident we can do it all with magic technology right now today?

What is more concerning is we have all of these collapsing nations around the world like Sri Lanka, Italy, Ghana and many many more suffering and seeing famine and death in their efforts to get the best climate ESG scores. Thanks Al Gore!

The other side of this equation is who seriously thinks Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi can solve the climate crisis? Joe can't solve the problem of what happens when his bike slows down. Giving these people money is no different than giving a panhandler twenty bucks and expecting him to come work on your lawn tomorrow. Spoiler alert. He wont. Well at least he will get a hot meal with the twenty so feel good about yourself. Second Spoiler alert. He didn't. Maybe it is time for us to stop all being so uber-gullible and naive.
