Anyone Else Scared the Earth is Going to Go Kablooey?

I agree with most of your assertions, but I fear that forcing a transition by propping up inadequate technology will create inertia and actually stifle innovation. The artificial crisis created by choking off energy supply too soon before a viable solution runs the risk of misery, destabilization, and revolt. Just look at Sri Lanka, what happened in Texas last winter, etc. The industrial revolution was driven by technological advances, this ”transition” is being driven by ideology. That is a vastly different scenario. As an EV owner, I can tell you it is the stupidest thing ever to have almost half your mass due to energy storage. Not viable As a long term solution. Probably why the government paid me to buy it.

:triple like:

reminds me of the 'cash for clunkers' mess back in '08 & '09. what a waste of raw material, energy, and natural resources. what did it accomplish? if there are aliens watching us, they are laughing their green asses off

Sigh. Sorry guys, the world isn't going to end anytime soon. It's been around for something like 4 billion years and most likely will be around several more billion. Will humans be here is a different story. Considering that something like 99.9% of all species that have been on this world are now extinct says a lot. Just my 2 cents.

I think I watch too many Marvel and DC Comics superhero shows/movies. . Maybe we won’t end up ka-blooey but maybe we’ll all end up with superpowers after some sort of massive detonation with the Hadron Collider.

You are a funny guy. A lot of people are worried about the super collider. Just a side note, Stanford University is and has been operating a linner collider, accelerator for over 30 years. No problem.

True, however we are still here.

It's not so much watching too many movies.

It's not being able to separate fiction from reality.
