9. I have researched it and have made the same conclusion
although I think that part of the solution needs to be finding some method of quickly ending and reversing the population growth on this planet. Also a lot of high tech including solar involves use of rare minerals and plastics(made from fossil fuels) which have to be brought into account for making such an infrastructure. Speaking of plastics. how many products are there that we need oil as a base component to make. All plastics, most of our chemicals, not real sure what else beyond that.


I know that either we will do it or nature will do it for us. I don't think anybody is going to like natures methods of doing it.
