When I was in elementary school, the cafeteria switched to disposable plastic trays because the paper ones hurt trees. Stupid, I know… but are today’s initiatives any better?

    I’m not opposed to renewables at all, the progress in solar power has been awesome.

    But I think the scalability is hard, both in providing a reliable baseload, and also producing all of the solar panels for example. I don’t think it’s insurmountable though.

    Ideally we use all of them - we need more electricity than ever. “Degrowth” is the real enemy.
