  1. Geothermal isn't a silver bullet.

  2. ​ @tobene  Economies are never zero sum. Outcomes are outcomes, not justified. Infinite growth isn't required. Capitalism doesn't need to be kept alive, it's the natural state of things - the core concepts of capitalism will exist even after humanity is extinct.

  3. Hydroelectric has limits, so does geothermal, hydrogen is a pipe dream.

  4. Solar panels are virtually maintenance free, but wind turbines are mechanical. Nothing free about massive spinning blades connected to a gearbox.

  5.  @JewTube001  But we easily create more than we consume.

  6.  @tobene  Economies aren't zero sum because human activity adds growth. Humans can take "nothing" and make it into something. Outcomes don't need a justification, you can't make poverty illegal.

  7. ​ @EngineerMFB  Africa's population is increasing due to people living longer. Birth rates are dropping in Africa too.

  9. Calories is vs calories out is a natural form of profit. You eat, you gain weight, no laws of physics are broken.

  10.  @salec7592  But that's a ridiculous example. Profit is natural. Period. Now you want to talk zero-sum. Well, you can't eat all the food in the world alone, and if you have any sort of forward thinking you'll replenish your food source.

  11. ​ @fintan9218  No, the main problem isn't greed. Man made forests have many problems.

  12. ​ @prosandcons-fl2cc  Most of the land used for crops would not be forest but natural grazing fields for wild bison.

  13.  @shrayesraman5192  I compared solar panels to wind turbines and you want to talk about gas plants...

  14.  @thetayz72  They lose efficiency and the glass needs to be cleaned of dust. But they're very set and forget otherwise.

  15. ​ @SuperTonyony  Socialism is incredibly exploitative.

  16.  @louvendran7273  Indentured servitude was common precisely because of the lack of capital. Without enough goods or services to trade, people became a commodity. Slavery as a practice started becoming economically unsuitable due to the industrial revolution. The machine can outproduce an army of slaves. Slave owners could not compete.
