I do wish we'd all stoped financing questionable regimes via oil use, stopped polluting the environment by switching to solar, and overall went on a sustainable path...Some not very pleasant things are in store for us in the not so distant future
Running out of food and water (looking forward to that algae snack:
Is algae the food of the future?)
Flooding of coastal areas(check out the map)
Flooding could put millions of coastal properties at risk - CNN
Plastics in the ocean matching fish by weight by 2050. They kill marine animals, but also turn into micro plastics that we consume with seafood.
Coloful beaches where microplastics are components of the sand (today) - see @7:30
Not to mention, when I go to an ocean and do some snorkeling in any country, there's always plastics littering the ocean floor. I used to think this is local tourists are littering. No. That stuff is brought across thousands of miles. It's simply everywhere.
All of these problems need solved now, not some time later.
Musk's vision on the sustainable transport, commoditizing it, so that parking spaces can be recycled, reducing emissions and speading sustainable electricity and batteries to industrial applications are so much bigger than just switching an ICE for EV...
And who else is giving us a 2nd chance on Mars?
