If we utilized the products of desalination and put it towards energy storage, vertical farms could be scaled sustainably and powered solely by renewables/solar. Energy storage with non-rare earth materials is groundbreaking.
This gives us some breathing room to stop inputting wasteful amounts of water into agriculture and deal with our topsoil. Vertical farms don’t necessarily need water input like typical agriculture and solar panels are cheap to make. This also mitigates the climate’s effect on agriculture and yields.
If we pooled our resources into finishing that technology
If we could all just get together and do <whatever thing>, we’d be able to do it! I’ve found that relying on other people most often ends in disappointment. I know that’s cynical, but it’s also not inaccurate.
Well, as it stands the vast majority of the world is coerced or propagandized into consenting to governments and regulators for them to do nothing and let disaster manifest. They are mostly all blissfully unaware.
Give it a couple years of Trump’s reign to see how people react to somebody taking away their rights before you completely give into cynicism and close yourself to the possibility of garnering hope.
Doesn’t change the fact that we can scale those vertical farms tomorrow and power them however the fuck we’d like to (in the short-term) to mitigate disaster.
I’m cracking up. More awareness. Fuck off with your thoughts and prayers, darling, the time for awareness was in the mid ‘90s.
You’re very late to the party.
Well, as it stands, we have more solutions and technology on the table than ever before.
Like the recent breakthrough: sodium-ion batteries. Or proton batteries.

Yeah, don’t be so cynical, endlessnightmare.
There’s a new battery article every month.

Too late kiddo. Go back to Reddit. Report some more comments because you feel offended I don’t agree with you.
