The crux of it is this in your statement; "...settled enough". There are still many things we do not fully understand about gravity and your 97 astrophysicists would understand they do not have all the answers.

The three remaining astrophysicists would get run over at the next zebra crossing next to the nearest black hole. Which would serve them right for being an asshats to think they have all the answers.

Welcome to the new age where dipships mascarading as researchers redefine much of what we know; I'll not feel sorry for them when they get run over at the next zebra crossing.

you forgot to include my farts while swimming in the ocean contributing to global warming/climate change or whatever you dipshits are calling now. How much data did you have to manipulate to conform to your religion?

Predicting what will happen does not mean you have interpreted a phenomenon correctly; it is only accurate as you understand it and not necessarily the map as being a true representation of the territory.

Well that's a large part of the problem, isn't it? Alternative power sources that are most importantly the things you state?

From a producing electron flow as the primary means point of view, we are still using 1800s technology; steam. Imagine that, as technologically advanced as some think we are our main method to produce electricity relies on boiling water.

Until we can figure out a way that does it in a different way without the need for mechanical transformations its just substituting one inefficient method for non reliable methods.

Yeah and when you're 97 doctors say the science is settled as the pro-global warming scientist insist upon then you know for sure those 97 doctors are talking out their ass. No science is ever settled.

Your assumption there is no compassion contained in those with these infinite bank account owners reveals you have the same level of blinders as your hippies. Neither is your example compassionate. It cannot be as you are leading the reader to choose the option of taking by force what is not theirs under the name of misplaced altruism and attempted shaming.

There is no dilemma, the answer is simple; keep what I got and use it as I see fit; the hippies and you can kiss my ass.

Not really, not in the least bit should anyone be surprised. Some years ago when Zuckerburg was asked about facebook users data, his reply; they are fucking idiots to trust him.

Neither does the idea of relying on wind power.

Yep. Until someone figures out how to bypass some physics digital could not exist without analog.

Back in the day I always preferred troubleshooting, aligning and such things on analog systems. If only analog received the same level of research dollars, investments and all that, things would be very different. In my view, analog has always been superior to digital.

we all know your climate models have consistently been wrong and we all know climatologists are always looking for ways to justify why they should continue using something that has never produced accurate results. Much like a child consistently touching a hot stove, getting burnt and looking for anything other than the stove to blame. Idiots.

A blind spot in something designed by man.

That's normal.

I don't know that is actually true and have not seen any studies to support one being "more efficient" than the other. Even if paper were less efficient it is way more biodegradable than any plastic. As others have mentioned in this thread, plastic will degrade but not totally like paper. I just remember back when "tree huggers" seemed to be constantly in the news and were more than willing to support any solution so long as some owl had someplace to perch.
