    Yeah. It’s sexier to live with fossil fuels than without, so that’s what we do.

    If it was sexier to forego fossil fuels, that’s what we would be doing.

      We collectively decided to use up the world’s stock of phosphorus (a lot of which had been in fossil fuels apparently?) and have a population boom. I don’t know what the next century or two will look like, but I’m not optimistic.
