Another way to look at it: the shipping industry will take a beating while everyone transitions.

If anyone is left wondering why there’s so much institutional resistance to changing our energy diet, its institutions like this that are lobbying and generating the propaganda behind it. Energy companies are just one faction.

the biggest resistance is coming from the owner class. the great fear is that we could enter into an age where human labor isn’t needed and it becomes feasible to have a society where resources just get distributed for free because everything* is* practically free.

Or they’d just ship something else? They’d lose some money and scrap a few ships, but the drop in costs would make it more economical to ship whatever else people want, like lumber and funko pops.

Hydrogen too. There’s a massive solar farm in Australia’s Northern Territory entirely dedicated to green hydrogen production for export to Asia

Look, let me tell you something. A Minion died for you. A Minion paid the price of sin for you and me that we deserve. Why? Because they love you. And if you think Minions are a false idol, then keep on scrolling. But if you know that a Minion died for your sins, type ‘wonderful savior’ and smash that upvote button
