It’s like whoever’s running the simulation keeps dropping the difficulty level to help us not die, and we just won’t accept it. I fully expect in the next century or so we’ll figure out cold fusion, build like two plants and humanity will just collectively go “BORING” and dig up more coal again.

it isn't "humanity" who stands in the way of moving on from fossil fuels, it's a few hundred extremely wealthy assholes who own the fossil fuel industry
