Reply #11: I think fusion is our only hope. [View All]

[Gregorian]

We cannot supply billions of people with energy in any other way. Millions of photovoltaic systems? I'm going to do it in my next place. But millions? I don't think so. That's materials and energy we can't afford.

The real issue isn't energy. And that's why I sound like a broken record on these threads. It's the population. There is no getting around it. If we don't...bla bla bla.

I think I should do my best to stop thinking about it. I studied it in college, and I've spent 35 years agonizing over it. I feel like there are only a couple of us on the planet who actually see the true problem. Energy is only a small small fraction of the problem, if we are going to address sustainability. OK, enough of me.

Off to go sit with a cat in the sun.
