    “Oh, your solution doesn’t break the laws of physics? Trash it, we’re gonna keep burning shit to make more shit we can burn forever until you have a magic solution or until we kill the planet”

    The hundred year solution is nuclear. The thousand year solution is colonizing other planets.

    Ultra dense energy has its place, namely where weight and volume are critical like in aerospace. Everything else can deal with not putting more carbon and worse things in the air.

      You’re taking an off-hand joke comment pretty seriously there, bud.

      I’m a proponent of things like solar and nuclear, but having some kind of fantasy position of them being perfect technologies with no downsides whatsoever is a special kind of delusional.

      You want to actually convince people of their benefits? Stop making up dream scenarios and provide realistic examples.

        You can buy solar panels at Costco.

        I can’t help you with any more of a real world scenario. If you want to offset some dollar amount of your energy use with home-grown juice, that’s the easiest way to get it done right now.
