And a bunch of the food is more or less fossil fuels turned into corn. Solar+wind+battery with some nuclear power mixed in is probably the way, but long haul transport might be able to work on bio if we could get out of the growth only economy of late stage of capitalism.

I sometimes imagine a world where we make things that last, or can be repaired and our population has leveled off so that we can stop making the line go up and just keep it at some sustainable level. A lot of thing could change and keep us all happy.

Maybe my kid’s grandkids will see it.
