Many people believe that solar and wind power are obvious replacements for fossil fuels - as if a single solar panel magically operates like the ignition switch of a fully fueled vehicle. In reality, efficiency and energy storage are just not technologically feasible for this to be the case. However, this does not stop the global demand for electricity to replace all fossil fuels, and for that electricity to be generated through thoroughly inefficient means even if that means burning more coal. Technology and infrastructure just aren't available and any full-scale attempt to immediately replace all fossil fuels and infrastructure would literally shut the entire world down and thrust billions into starvation, exposure, and death. The push is also on to remove drivers from their vehicles entirely. Propaganda suggests we drive less, sell our cars, take public transport, etc, all in support of collective concerns-of-the-week. The same is being suggested for food and even our pets, that we should eat less and get rid of our dogs. Resetting the world never seemed so convenient.
