Reply #8: It's always been about energy in some form [View All]

[The2ndWheel]

More like the last 8 thousand years, than just the last 8. Probably the last 8 million years, since everything needs energy to survive.

Guess what? It'll continue to be about energy too. We seem to think solar or wind energy will free us from physical reality. They won't. We'll still end up with people that have too much, and those that don't have enough. The wealthy will still be there, the poor will still be there. We'll still have environmental problems, they'll just be different. It will always be about energy, and the race to get to the destination that isn't even there as quickly as possible.
