Hard to mine iron and coal using solar too. Oh wait, we don’t like mining nor miners any more either.
What we really need is a war-like national movement ordered by the government to creat mining, drilling, refining, power plant building, farming, and ranching. We are in deep, deep trouble and are near the end of our national suicidal movement. Our cities are going to become caldrons of horror when things finally shut down.
It’s true that we cannot mine with solar. However, that doesn’t mean we have to spend carbon on lower energy uses that could be powered through other means.
Should we go back to the days when our primary sources of heat were wood that we chopped ourselves?
