We're going to need a lot of solar panels

I'm not one to argue etymology. Apparently nothing is real until it's realized. So "not being real" is meaningless and we should discuss whether something is "able to be realized".

Can fuels by synthesized at industrial scale? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sasol

I'm sure the goalposts just moved LOL

Cool story.

Are you about to say "well what if we can realize the way to realize it" when I point out none of the industrial work is done, none of the process work is done, none of the factories are built, none of the laws are drafted, none of the money is raised, none of the functionaries are settled, and none of the customers are online?

If you can't point to things that already exist, then what you're talking about isn't going to be ready in time.

I have been pretty clear that I am not going to be convinced by "could be." It's not clear why people insist on continuing to try.

If you think none of the industrial, process, or scientific work is done, you are incapable of decomposing the problem into its constitutent parts and recognizing the existance of most of its constituent parts in other parts of industry.

Goodbye.
