While it's true that our bodies are carbon-based and human advancement requires energy use, it's also important to consider the impact that energy use has on the environment and climate change. While we may eventually master the atomic scale and have unlimited energy, it's important to work towards more sustainable and renewable sources of energy to mitigate the negative effects of our current energy use. It's not about giving up on progress, but rather finding ways to progress that are more responsible and sustainable.

It’s actually not debatable that our bodies are carbon based. Neither is it debatable that human advancement requires energy use. Over time we will continue to improve our efficiency- but the overall energy use WILL CONTINUE TO RISE. Eventually we will fully master the atomic scale and provide ourselves with unlimited energy. Complaining today about using “fossil fuels” is like giving up on climbing Mount Everest because there was a loose pebble on the sidewalk of your hotel in Nepal.
