It makes me unreasonably angry that most of our power generation comes from pulling shit out of the ground and setting it on fire.

Tiny, controlled explosions are how we accomplish the majority of things in this world.

I mean, isn’t a massive uncontrolled explosion how we all eventually got here? And many astrophysicists have said we are living in an “active, ongoing explosion” from what I recall… so I guess us making it to the “controlled” part of tiny explosions is par for existence?

Also - I agree 10,000% that we need to stop ravaging the plant surface and sub terrain goods when there are much better alternatives. Stupid politics and rich people. Ugh.
