    I think ppl forget that the steps to clean energy are merely bridge technologies. You don’t get to industrial age to solarpunk future without some “unclean” steps in between.

      Yup, and “clean” gets you right back to the 18th century. The vast majority of human history operated 100% renewable.

        That’s a flawed comparison, we’re scientiffically far more advanced now, i dontthink it would be that big of a setback. We’d only change the way society operates. And if you complement the renewable technologies and fossils as bridge technologies correctly, the setback would be little /manageable.
