well was fun knowing you...

Yep, and our energy consumption is probably the biggest test of that self-control. We're burning through millions of years of stored sunlight in a couple centuries. If we don't figure out sustainable power generation soon, we're toast. I've been researching backup power options at gearscouts.com and the $/Wh efficiency of LFP batteries is getting way better, but we need grid-scale solutions.
It's only about energy storage and will. We've had clean, safe nuclear designs for over half a century, it is purely greed that has deluded even many of those that claim to defend the environment that keeps us on the path to self annihilation.
Reminder that Chernobyl was doomed from the outset because it was made to serve two masters: power AND weapons grade enrichment.
Technology hasn't been the bottleneck, greed has. I will never forget or forgive my species for priorities like these:
Made solely to keep us addicted to the worst forms of power generation. -
That's literally not what they said, or implied. I hope you're just bad at reading and social comprehension, someone else may take up explaining it to you.
Unless you're a bot or a paid actor. (Or did the writer edit their comment to add "rich" after you posted? That might be implied by the couple of comments below.)

Getting real tired of people with bad reading comprehension talking shit about reading comprehension.

I've been floating the idea that evolution is the ultimate culprit. Add intelligence to "most prolific, genetically" and get capitalism, then late stage capitalism in our technological age, and viola...
I've been told I'm insane, though, so take it with a grain of salt
Well, that ending might lead one to believe there's maybe a smidge of insanity.

Dont worry, there will be others. We're just one of the first precursor species.
Not a particularly interesting one, but still.
I just hope that when another sentient species evolves they will learn from our ruins.
