XSCO2 is proven as equal to the amount of FF's we have extracted. Thus we NEED to do something about it. Advanced machine automation WILL displace your job, directly or indirectlt. Might as well use it to build 100,000 square miles of solar install jobs. Still, though, we need to learn how to "tax the machine" as it then can create machine made abundance (of everything within enviro reason). Batteries, too, will be mass produced for pennies on the dollar.
EROEI for solar is about 10 and should be less when machines make the best kind of solar collection material with utmost efficiency. But the TIME it takes for such is way slower than the time it takes to turn over a barrel of oil. THAT'S why "America isn't doing anything about it".
Enter nuclear. Good at EROEI (since a little ball of thorium would be able to power your entire life!). Not so sure on the time for turnaround (because business as usual can't make as much money of of LFTR or similar). We should just ditch the light water reactor (because it relies upon water, a BIG no-no).
Therefore, we must all vote with our money, to those corporations who would use machine made solar, who would build machine made batteries, and who would (only) go for advanced liquid fuels nuclear!
