This is the point I always make to people. Eating meat was a technological innovation that went obsolete 10,000 years ago with the invention of agriculture. It's like insisting that we should go back to driving coal-fired steam-driven cars.
I would LOVE to drive a steam powered car. Been binge watching then on YouTube lately. Everything about it is amazing. Visually stunning. Mechanically sound. Easily fixable, unless the junk that made them obsolete..plastic, can't fix shit without diagnostic software that won't be released, over priced components, stupid displays in the console, manufacturer lies on performance.
Good analogy..I guess
You left out, "coating everything within 50ft in a fine layer of soot".
Nah, even old style steam engines usually get an oil fuel conversion. Smaller ones can run on pellets of sawdust. Nuclear engines are possible too, although I doubt anyone wants a high-energy density reactor without a lot of concrete shielding.
