Couldn't agree more. We have so much untapped clean power radiating down onto our planet in the form of solar energy. Enough to provide every single human being with an energy budget far far in excess of a typical American.

Yet so many people only fixate on the "solution" of "you must use less and have a shittier, less-comfortable life, there is no other way!".

We are a civilization that fundamentally requires energy for all our wants and needs. People need to get over that and focus on gathering energy cleanly.
