What energy

What "tech"?

Tech isn't magic. We can't just magically stop the greenhouse effect.

Solar, wind and nuclear (theoretically) are limitless.

> We can't just magically stop the greenhouse effect.

You're absolutely right, that's why tech is the only non-magical solution.

Anyone thinking they can change the behavior of 8 billion people is engaging in magical thinking.

Solar and wind are absolutely limited, both by environmental conditions that change the energy potential and by our ability to store energy. Neither can handle surge use as well either, we can't make more wind or sunshine when everyone turns on their suit conditioner.

Nuclear is at least a viable shirt term solution. Combine that with reducing our total energy demand and we're at least buying ourselves more time to figure things out, that's a much better sort term path for sure.

You're not saying anything I disagree with. Technology will improve those limitations.
