That’s wild considering we’ve almost used up all of the fossil fuel reserves on earth. So good luck to this guy after 2060 I guess?

The people in charge who can’t see beyond this quarter’s financial reports will be dead by then, so they don’t care.

Dude isn't wrong: fossil fuels are just really good for a bunch of industrial operations. Doesn't stop China from leading the world in the manufacture and deployment of solar panels, manufacture and deployment of wind turbines, development and deployment of nuclear power plants, development and deployment of hydroelectric power plants...
