@slrpnk.netI guess a discussion on shared meaning of what it means to die would be needed to understand if not dying as possible future/current/previous state in the universe and directly address your request to change your mind.
foolish of you to think that is a bad thing.
There is no greater hell than immortality.
Energy in the technical sense has always been a human right as we would literally die without it (ATP production kind of requires it and sunlight tends to power food production too)
If by energy you mean electricity or chemical energy in convenient containers (like butane canisters) then no but improving access would extend lives and reduce the total environmental pollution if done properly. As there is not an upper bound on how much every one could claim they need and lack of access to energy efficient options would make the lower bound insufficient for most people to live off.
Doom stops when people have hope. Teaching people how to climb to a solar punk future is the solution.
We need solar punk political candidates.
in every sense of the word.
Full source code control, nothing included that you don't ask for, substitutes for those wanting to reduce energy requirements as a collective group.
Oh and can be productively used on a system powered exclusively by a $5 solar panel.
So cut the amount of energy going to the life that produces the oxygen we need to survive....
Securing technical liberation and building a path for us as a community to understand and control the very technology we depend upon.
Well going renewable is a political question not a technical one.
We are not doomed by nature but by the things we love.
