>>7929377>I mean sure its easy enough to make a house or a village solarpunk, but how do you make a mega city solarpunk, its gonna take astronomical amounts of money and resources.Most of all it will take a lot of area for the greenery and power to keep things running.
>Irregardless tho, i just cant see a future in which electricity is being used at a scale its being used today being sustainable, not truly sustainable anyhow. Whichever route you go you eventually run out of resources, in the very long run anyhow.Given sufficient electrical power, recycling is easy.
>Solar panels dont just appear out of thin air, you need resources, you need to dig them up, refine them, make the panels, and than dispose of them.Solar panels are made of silicon, the very most abundant element in Earth's crust. Even if you covered the entirety of the cglobe and also the moon, you would not use up all the silicon in the crust.
>You go nuclear fusion, hydrogen, or whatever else you use for it isnt infinite either. They can last for a very very long time sure, but not infinitely.Strictly speaking true, however the energy in the hydrogen in plain sea water is plenty for the foreseeable future.
>Idk the way i see it, as long as we use electricity at the scale we use it now, i see every possible solution like an anesthetic. You got shot, you receive and anesthetic, you're still messed up, you just cant feel the pain for a while longer.There is a lot of research and development in all fields of energy and it is reasonable to assume this problem will be cracked. A problem is that probably even more money is going into talking about climate. The COP-26 attendees preferred to arrive by air, no video conference for these guys of course.
>Maybe im retarded tho and all i wrote is false, i havent put much thought into it lately, im on the black pill about environmentalism lately.There is plenty of hope.
