  It frustrates me that the independent, “keep to myself and don’t trust the government” personalities love gas/oil and not solar panels/batteries. Can’t remember a time we invented a war in the Middle East to steal their sunlight.

    I’ve been in the Middle East recently and let me tell you - they are FAR ahead of the West in terms of solar and geothermal. They know what’s up (the end of oil and climate catastrophe) and they are moving to solar and geothermal FAST. Don’t get me wrong they are still car dependent, and they will still milk oil for everything it’s worth, but solar and geothermal (for cooling in their case) is everywhere on the Arabian peninsula. Just saying.

      Makes sense. You don’t get high off your own supply. Norway is all about electric vehicles, too.

      I’m working on it too. I’m part way there. (47 year old telecommuting engineer and off grid homesteader hoping to retire to do farm stuff full time as soon as I can)

  Once our little fossil-fueled civilizational experiment comes to a halt, most of us will be, like it or not.

    You apparently didn’t hear about Renewables.

      I guess most of historical civilizations heard of renewables. Why didn’t they have intercontinental flights and chemical fertilizers with a population of 8 billion?

      Do you honestly think we’re going to wave a magic wand and pooff, same lifestyle but with sunshine?

      What’s coming in the next 50 years will make the 21st century so far look like a picnic in the park.

        Whine whine whine. This person will hold their tablet against their chest and bemoan the loss of porn-on-demand while we get to work building sustainable food capacity.

      Isn’t it some form of renewables? Growing food with the sun.

      Though I prefer to just water edible wild stuff occasionally instead of putting to much energy in growing it intentionally.

        Have you ever tried growing… anything? Do you have any idea what that’s like without chemical pesticides and fertilizers?

        There’s a reason agriculture used to occupy most of people’s time.

        Soil nutrients, unfortunately, are mostly petroleum derived these days. Another reason to not just burn it, but nobody listens to me.

  It actually makes sense to not notice them because they are off the grid in the true sense, no such person would announce their current statr on social media.

  Don’t they just want to keep it to themselves? That’s what it’d look like
