The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"...it is vital for states that use Colorado River water to reduce water use"

"The elephant in the room is growing.

Over the past few decades (the TMF years)various posters dismissed my concerns that the stresses of population on the environment will not be solved by technology.

Perhaps they didn't account for the water and energy demands (and pollution generating Same) developing said technology ? desal plants, data centers, global transportation of everything..."


You are overstating your case. What is just going to get more expensive, especially in some specific locations. The world isn't going to end though lie you have been yelling for years. There are always stresses to growth and then humans always figure out a way. The world in going to require a lot more energy in 100 years, luckily we have this huge, fission reactor throwing off tons of energy just 93 million miles away from here. The world is going to require a lot more water. Luckily we have the huge storage areas for it called oceans.

Doomers like yourself always ignore human ingenuity.
