@DoctorVive I hate to say it, but with limitless energy you could potentially grow corn in high-rises and feed it to confined animals...

This is all such bullshit. The biggest agricultural footprint is animal agriculture, and you can’t graze cows in high rises. Getting carbon emissions to zero means actually not thinking like a toddler, and insisting that more, more, more is the solution to absolutely everything.

“Limitless clean energy for everyone” is a brilliant inspiring vision that’s worth organizing around, but you can’t just adopt it as a slogan and then pivot to talking about demand flexibility and home retrofits — you need to try to deliver it! slowboring.com/p/the-case-for…

@willtobeWill89 Substituting pastureland for land for biofuels does not reduce emissions; transport is only a part of the GHG emissions of animal agriculture; “lots of new innovation pathways” = magic sparkle ponies are sure to come to replace cows in the diets of the rich.

@DoctorVive 1st by making more land available(reduction of land for biofuels, more for food,pasture and wildland), 2nd no more emissions related to transport of food/farm equipment 3rd by opening up pathways to sustainable fertilzer, 4th cheap abundant energy= lots of new innovation pathways

@DoctorVive I think matt is wrong on the politics and many of the specifics But he is actually mostly right about this. At least half of the problems with food systems are actually problems with energy. abundant clean energy would greatly aleviate those pressures(but not solve every problem)

Man…no words. "My dad got cancer and my mom's employer collapsed. The executives got paid and the workers got screwed. She didn't have the heart to tell us, even when the bank took the house. And when she took her own life, the eviction notice was in her pocket."

And the “only problem” w growing meat in labs is certainly not just a lack of electricity. It’s culture, psychology, the power of agricultural interests, the fact that the technology doesn’t work very well to produce flesh that tastes good, etc etc etc
