No thank you. There's no need for that.

Instead of this petty, divisive and hostile nonsense, how about we just acknowledge that our civilization is fundamentally based on energy use, and work towards making all our energy use carbon-neutral?

Our planet receives enough harnessable solar energy to allow every single human being an energy allocation far in excess of a typical American.

There's absolutely no need to be hostile towards other people's energy use. Advocate for fundamental change, not petty ineffectual bullshit.

Yes, but is it currently being harvested? Do we have a plausible path towards that future?

No, but there's a dire need to properly account for the externalities of everybody's CO2 emissions if we want to be able to plausibly call our economy market-based.

I totally agree with the fundamental changes. Rest is bullshit.

What would be your suggestion on Kardaishan's energy consumption levels? Having a crash course?

Couldn't care less. Seriously, go do the math on how much energy is available to us. It will blow your ignorant little mind.

Nobody is claiming that humanity is at a risk of running out of energy.

The stone age didn't end because we ran out of stones either.
