I personally cringe when I hear a friend js having a kid. All I can think of is how bad theyre going to have it. Hell id definitely have been better off being born 20 years earlier, but these new kids are REALLY screwed unless they have super rich parents.

“Nothing new under the sun” I suppose!

    Yup, the fossil fuel foundation that enabled us to reach 10 billion is going away. Sunshine and puppies won’t sustain 10 billion eaters.

    The carrying capacity of a renewable energy system is not the same as a system that uses massive amounts of surplus energy coming from the ground.

    It’s lower. Far far lower. And getting there will be ugly, and your time frame is correct IMO.
