Renewables require industry and high tech to produce and maintain. If you go far enough back to establish a foothold, your renewables will most likely not be functioning by the time colonists arrive. If you settle just before they do, you wonβt be able to have much advantage. In either case, unless you go really far back, youβre still settling and taking land from indigenous people.
What are you hoping to achieve?
Hey they said I could take anything. That includes whatever is needed to keep them functioning. Iβm trying to buy us more time before environmental collapse. Cause at this rate we arenβt solving shit. There isnβt a single place you can go back to where someone or something isnβt harmed or changed in the process.
I understand; Iβm saying, youβd need to take back an entire industry to produce photovoltaics, batteries for storage, the computer control systems; or the high-tensile composites needed to build wind turbines, the fine machining to produce electric motors and wiring, and the cranes and such to raise them. Youβd need to clear swaths of land for either, although you might be able to set up in the great plains, but in any case, all of the current renewable tech is high tech supported by countless other industries. Youβd be taking back a civilization, to make it all work. And then youβll need agriculture to feed all those people, housing for them to live, clothing, and so on; and which native tribe are you going to steal land from to put all of this?
Thatβs what they said. Whatever would make it work.
It would also have the benefit of taking a large group of people of the society they grew up with brought back with them. Then theyβd not be just one person or a few people from modern society around with them.
Great idea, really.
Alright is there another hypothetical you wanna take way too seriously or just mine? It simply said whatever I want and thats what Iβd want. It didnt say small scale, or any other restrictions. And if you really want to know Iβd jack Greer Arizona, which as far as I know, Molly Butler settled there first.
