Reply #17: Just think of how screwed we are if we start using wind and solar

[The2ndWheel]

Humans used human energy, and we changed environments.

Humans use energy burried in the ground for millions of years, and we change environments.

If we start using, on an ever increasing scale, the energy that regulates the environment, just think of how we'll change the environment.

Hope that helps.

Every species changes the environment to a certain extent, but the environment balances out those other species, just like those other species balance out the other species and the environment. Then we come along, harness more and more energy for ourselves, and then keep doing that as a "solution" to the problems that we create by harnessing more and more energy for ourselves.
