What exactly is it about electricity that bothers you? It doesn't bother the planet, on the contrary.
Yeah, unlike burning hydrocarbons...

With electricity, so many weapons were produced and so many people died.

Take World War II - more people died than in all previous wars. Machine guns, tanks, airplanes, all made with machines powered by electricity. And the atomic bomb, without electricity it never existed.

To produce electricity, they burn so much hydrocarbons, coal, fuel oil, gas.

They built hydroelectric power plants and ruined thousands of hectares of fertile land.

Millions of cars with toxic exhaust fumes (hydrocarbons by the way) would go nowhere without electricity and would never be produced.

About nuclear power - Chernobyl is not enough for you and Fokushima is where the next atomic catastrophe will happen.

It is a question of time whether or not the next atomic fireworks will hit, it will hit for sure. And the consequences are not for a year or two, but for centuries.

This is all a delusion.

This is not about electricity.

It was all done by men. With their heads, their hands, maybe a sledgehammer and a mat and electricity. So just go for the root cause - shoot all the fucking people and be done with it.

 

In some 30 years' time, the fate of the earthlings will be pretty miserable without oil.

Why waste bullets and gunpowder?

We live in an infoworld.

Just the code!

;)

like viruses...

You mean zombify everyone to bang their heads against the wall until their turnips pop? We could do that and leave the gunpowder to the survivors. It's the only way to fight off saber-toothed tigers in the future.

Your priorities have shifted. Not people for ideas, but ideas for people.

Whether or not the next at omic firework is a question of time, it will definitely happen. And the consequences are not for a year or two, but for centuries.

No, I am not a nerd... Moreover I often write in "my Russian", though I do it intentionally - just for fun or to emphasize a key word in a phrase. So no offence, all right?
You should understand, Artem, that words of a man who writes illiterately are not taken seriously as a pure reflex - a man is illiterate and he is trying to talk in "high matter".

Now to the essence of the question: hydrocarbon material as an energy source is a substance alien to ecosystem of Earth as well as products of its combustion. I hope no one will argue. The crux of the ecological problem is the tight integration of oil and its derivatives into the global economy. The top powers-that-be will not tolerate an alternative for a long time to come.
