@GhostOnTheHalfShell looks at the problem from a kinetic energy perspective. Everything has undeniable conseqences - look at Lake Mead,
@tuban_muzuru @GhostOnTheHalfShell @blogdiva
right so we get our energy from the sun rather than digging it up. vast improvement
@benroyce @GhostOnTheHalfShell @blogdiva

You want to argue that PV and EV manufacture would somehow magically bring us within those limits. My assertion is that this is not the case, and that the proper engineering outlook is to look at the actual budget and remain within those bounds..
To manufacture all this green stuff, you have to continue to destroy the productive capacity of the planet.
Necessarily, you have to look at other choices
