Yep, and our energy consumption is probably the biggest test of that self-control. We’re burning through millions of years of stored sunlight in a couple centuries. If we don’t figure out sustainable power generation soon, we’re toast. I’ve been researching backup power options at gearscouts.com and the $/Wh efficiency of LFP batteries is getting way better, but we need grid-scale solutions.
It’s only about energy storage and will. We’ve had clean, safe nuclear designs for over half a century, it is purely greed that has deluded even many of those that claim to defend the environment that keeps us on the path to self annihilation.
Reminder that Chernobyl was doomed from the outset because it was made to serve two masters: power AND weapons grade enrichment.
Technology hasn’t been the bottleneck, greed has. I will never forget or forgive my species for priorities like these:
Made solely to keep us addicted to the worst forms of power generation.
