    The thing is, there’s no need to rebuild the world from the 1850s.

    We already have the required machinery and energy. We can make use of what we have, even fossil-powered, to speed up the green transition. Our only goal is to keep it going at a growing pace.

    As per agriculture, there are sustainable solutions that I addressed in my other response to you. There are green fertilizers, and there are also genetically modified plants able to produce their own pesticides. There are also innovations in logistics and food sharing initiatives to make less food rot without use.

    We have the knowledge, we have the energy. What we lack is the political will to shut down those standing in the way for their own gain over our collective future.
