Space Solar Power by way of lunar resources as the solution to Climate Change is the most logical path as it deindustrializes the energy industry on Earth by relocating it off-world. The only valid argument against it is that it is more expensive than fossil fuels but….that is circular logic as fossil fuels are likely to burn civilization to the ground. The main obstacle is ironically the person controlling the company that is developing the spacecraft that can enable Space Solar calls it “the stupidest idea ever”…because he cannot own it.
“They are afraid of being called “alarmist” and they’re afraid of giving anyone reason to dismiss their conclusions and that creates incentive to make the situation less scary and to underestimate uncertainties. Basically, it is right that you shouldn’t trust climate scientists, but the conclusion from that isn’t what climate change deniers want it to be. It is not that climate change is a hoax…it’s that it is almost certainly worse than the impression they raise.”
I don’t care if you do lean toward neoliberalism (even though it drives climate change)…you are now one of my heroes Sabine.
As a young helicopter mechanic in the military I spent several years in the mid 80’s on a hangar deck turning wrenches listening to Art Bell. I am immune to any conspiracy theory after listening to every crazy scam and hoax imaginable. It is of course about money. Follow the money and you find everything reduces to the rich evading taxation and regulation. That would be climate change denial. Science needs to have checks and balances just like government.
