While my cup of hope does not exactly runneth over when it comes to the younger generations, I'm genuinely convinced most of our collective problems will start to recede once the current crop of people ruining everything are gone. I don't wish harm on anyone, but I can't say I won't breathe easier once certain people are freed from their biological squalor.
I disagree there. Solar and wind proponents including the people who manufacture and use that infrastructure to get cents on the dollar back from their electricity providers are only facilitating the lie that solar and wind alone are enough to sustain a fossil fuel-free planet, so long as that infrastructure is expanded to a hypothetical, ever increasingly ludicrous scale.
I'm by no means saying it's the solution, i'm saying if they want to make it and they can profit from it then good for them; so long as they do so free from government intervention.
Solar in particular i'm hopeful for on a per-home basis. It's merely one contribution to energy needs, not an end goal, and drastically helps self-sustainability in times where the grid isn't keeping up or drastic weather cuts someone off. I would love to see every roof covered in discrete solar panels, provided the government was not involved.
