Oh… assume the ground won’t become seismic and volcanic and too arid to support life or structures do you?

@WobbigongSoundSystem would be really hard to accomplish… we’re theoretically doing it already… we just don’t put gardens on the tops of buildings. Any “unlimited energy” still has to conform to thermodynamics. And our efficiency just isn’t there except for solar… which has a mining problem. And that’s the major issue to your argument. The mining to accomplish what you’re proposing alone for anything more than one city (if that) would heat us past breaking point. And again… the instability is going to be a LOT worse than people understand. The rate at which permafrost is melting will collapse buildings, mountains, forests and the much of the world in many ways… we’re talking about 4000 feet of permanently frozen rock and water anywhere near the whole arctic and Antarctic. And we’re currently studying how it collapses when it thaws and it’s not pretty. It’s MUCH LESS about individual or community doomsday prepping and MUCH more about making the collapse gradual and survivable instead of rapid and apocalyptic.
