More solar, more business as usual,
more solar, more BAU. Put up as many solar collecting devices as the earth can
bear. Build all the auxiliary equipment to run these devices. Consume by
mining, refining, fabricating, manufacturing and transporting all the toys and
tools we want to use.
Lament climate change but blind yourself to the energy and resource needs of these devices.
Call yourself green. Call yourself renewable. Call yourself sustainable.

Here we have a copper mine pit. The
trucks can use a gallon of diesel every 30 seconds. They are diesel/electric.
Maybe we can put solar panels their so we can continue with business as usual.
How do you plan to have solar energy collecting devices without fossil fuels.
We won't talk about the machinery and getting it made. Of course this is
global.
After we dig the pit for the aluminum
for our solar panels and all the other tools and toys we want, perhaps we could
line it with solar panels. We humans are inventive cusses, we will surely
figure away for business as usual.
And of course the old
standby - the wind powered diesel/electric truck.
What would the economists say? They have to cope with their mortality yet they believe in the business as usual in irreversibly using up natural resources is sustainable!
