Renewable, electric motors, batteries. I don't see anything that beats it. Well, except doing it yourself. But that's a bunch of work. I don't have time to churn my own butter AND enjoy a comfortable life. So here we are, all modernized.

It's a strange time. For all of eternity we have just "lived". But now we're killing the planet. Soon, I imagine, we'll be on the other side. Fewer species, less diversity, turbulent weather, but no more "campfires" to make life easier.

This is only one fraction of what we have on our plates though. I think many people are missing this crucially important aspect of what we have become. Weird times. I wish I were a fool.
