I appreciate your optimism, and I think I expect things to play out as you've said here. However, if environmentalists are correct (and I'm not entirely sure they are), then we may have a power crisis to slow us down.

Because either, they say, we need to stop using fossil fuels or else.

Alternatively, others say, we must stop using fossil fuels because we are using them all...

I figure that's mostly just fear mongering, selling a new consumerism. If they can convince us to stop using oil, then we must buy solar and electric, etc. If done, maybe that can be the new consumer boom our failing global economy needs to stay afloat.

In the end, I suspect the truth is somewhere in between. Probably we need to be better to the earth, and probably we will expand solar and electric tech so that we are able to be better.

Probably it will spawn a new economic boom and the economic game will last longer than any naysayers (myself included) will expect.

And as likely, as a result, as you say, goods and life will get better for most of the world consistently. Hopefully.

Either way, I'm glad to hold food, water, bullion and BTC, just in case the house of cards falls harder and faster than we expect.

Good post bud.
