Brent, my analogy, however badly its thought-up, is to force the idealists
to produce. My idea was to force the idealist back to painful reality and
hard choices, rather then mentally living in La La land. Saying "Oh they're
working on solar and soon.." Unacceptable.
Tomorrowland existed no where except at Disney World. Naw. This is about
getting the thinker to be realists, and not dreamers.
There are more than 40GW of installed solar capacity existing now and the
rate of increase of capacity is literally exploding. You don't know what you
are talking about spudboy; you keep repeating nonsensical opinions with no
evidence for them whatsoever.
You are being a polemicist; and that is all you are doing.

an energy source that will power his civilization for the rest of his life,
Easy. Set him on fire. :-)
