    Yeah we already have the technology needed, we have to implement them.

    And much of the tech is actually very old. Electric trains are like a century old. So for a lot of things, we have to re-implement technology we foolishly removed.

    Oil was just a bad technology path. Gotta get back on the right path.

      The technology path is fine, the adoption isn’t.

      Path: plastics are miracle materials. Lots of great uses for it.

      Adoption: mass producing single use throwaway shit everything.

        Long term plastic aren’t as big of an issue as one time use plastics are. Wax paper and aluminum containers can both replace consumable bottles for instance.

      Our battery tech is not up to par, and chances are, will never be. Need something in replacement. Nuclear, not the same, but good enough.
