Here's an article that addresses some of the concerns that were raised by the author of your article, at least in terms of the materials usage. I've not found anything about the thermal requirements for some manufacturing processes, but couldn't we use CSP or green hydrogen for the necessary processes?

Our biggest problem in my opinion, is efficiency and hitting our growth ceiling. But we don't have to have a bleak future as outlined by the author of your article.

The Honest Sorcerer blog writes in the style of doom porn, and gives off the same kind of writing energy as Ayn Rand, in terms of absolutism.

What I find particularly suspicious about the article is that there's no mention about battery technology. We have batteries that can store energy for four to eight hours efficiently right now.

I believe that there was some interesting points made, but ultimately, it is a narrow and disingenuous take on things.

That's because he's in the files, neck deep in it. Elon Musk was right about that, at least.

Men like Bob Ross can help with that though, because he had the capability of being fierce if needs be, having been a former USAF drill sergeant.

Yes, I'm just going by what I believe the majority experience would be in terms of regular access to either substance. Alcohol doesn't require a prescription, and it's cheaper for it as well.

Don't give them any attention, they're just attempting to manufacture consent for .ml is all.
