The problem is, even with automation we are still burning up to 10 calories of petrochemical energy to get 1 calorie of food energy.
We are going through 2.5 earth's worth of non-renewable resources each year in order to maintain our current lifestyles --- this simply isn't sustainable.
Let's turn things around:
- under what circumstances should a person be allowed to use more than 1/7 billionth of the solar energy which the earth receives each day?
- under what circumstances is at acceptable for a person to create more heat than 1/7 billionth of what the planet is able to radiate out into space on a daily basis?
