I’m talking about ecosystems here but thanks for assuming I’m antivaxxer. Disease and sickness is also part of mother nature’s ecosystem controls, we’ve just kinds learned to beat that part.

We will never be able to do something better than the way mother nature does it.

We all want to have it. It is the rich, the corporations, the lobbied politicians, the people who stand to profit that refuse to have the discussion.

Trying? Haven’t they successfully been rigging markets for decades?

Combined sewer pipes really all should be replaced at this point. Stormwater and waste water require significantly different treatment processes.

The solar panels in my area are often in empty fields that could have been forests, farms, or houses with panels on the roofs. The panels still contain minerals mined from the earth, which has an impact. Broken panels will still have to be disposed of safely and ideally recycled, either way creating an impact.

If we let the rules of captialism continue to control our mindset of course we will continue to use more and more energy, just like companies expect more and more growth and profits.

This is part of why reducing our total energy usage is as important if not more important than just removing carbon from energy production. Every energy source has some kind of impact, some more than others. We should strive to make the least impactful energy we can and respect that energy by being effecient with it.
