The next 7 to 14 generations are going to look back at us, our parents and our grand parents as either saviors or backwards evil idiots!

The problem with all of this is that the grid has to be transformed. To add in hundreds of millions of cars to the grid is going to break most of them. I expect that many of the grids will require voltage changes. Going from 120 in the states to 220-240. Otherwise we will have to adapt millions of transformers for higher loads. We will need billions of miles of new power lines and infrastructure to handle the new loads everywhere. And it all has to be done in the next 20 years.

No tipping points under 4C? ROFL 🤣 I swear some people haven’t taken a basic differential calculus class. Even a part of the time at higher levels means part of the effects happen. It doesn’t happen all at once when we reach the NumberC. Oh and the effect of carbon in the atmosphere is expected to last 200 years. So, anything even remotely close to 1-4C in the next 500 years is going to have an increasing feedback loop.

I am with you! We are way too late to stop the feedback loops that will ultimately doom a substantial number of species, but we still have a chance to undo some of it if we are willing to not only end human carbon and methane emissions but invest in 7-15 trillion dollar last minute plans to cool the planet with a Texas sized solar shade between the sun and moon at the L1 Lagrange point.
Anything less than that and I don’t think our great grand kids will forgive us.

There is tons we can do, if we had the right political, social and economic climate to do it in. Those are the things holding us back.

It will never be able to pull more energy out than enough to detect.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they forced the energy to exist so it could be done. The universe is weird like that. Without them trying to do something they wouldn’t find any energy there, but if they tried to find something they will.

Every time people panic, it causes problems. The markets are causing messes. Or more accurately enabling abusers to take money out of manufactured crisis.

Would rather they create ai of it than do it with real kids. Idk about everyone else, but there is no way to remove everyone with that condition.

By then we could send a ton of asteroids past Phobos to shift its orbit a few degrees.

Higher voltage allows more wattage. It’s the amps that create the heat which makes things fry.
And if we don’t have nuclear as a base load carrier, we will need most cars connected to the grid during the day and especially a commute times. The duck curve sucks!
