Comment Lasers? (Score 1) 224

I don't know the level of accuracy which we can track all the debris, or the accuracy which we could fire a laser at a target moving that fast. Would it be possible for us to use lasers to knock the debris out of earth's orbit?

Germany is the current world's superpower of solar energy, and they receive sunlight similar to Seattle. All you are doing is regurgitating misinformed info. There is plenty of sunlight in Northern US. Solar works even during overcast.

As far as EV goes millions of people have commutes to work which are less than the current capacity of battery power. Throw in the opportunity for their cars to be charging while they are working during the day, and EV become even more viable.

As of right now, it's not that we can't move towards greener energy use. It's that too many people have too much too lose / gain. Depending how you want to see it. Our president is just one of many people who profit from oil.
