Dont forget all the extra nuclear power plants and coal burning power plants we will need to.build and all the tens of thousands of trees that will need cut down to build an electrical grid that could keep all those cars charged
Dont forget about the single point of failure/control pushing every energy system on the “grid”. Or maybe DS POV single point of success?
Like having a monoculture of corn. A plague comes through and destroys the whole crop. Or having multiple complementary systems to be resistant to system collapse.
They wouldn’t want the whole system to be dependent on a single energy paradigm in the face of climate change would they?
Climate change deniers! /s
My ancestors might know a thing or two about a "monoculture of corn". Only you can substitute "potato" for "corn".
Also, Celts are tribal. We are Clan-minded. This is in part why I get along with "Native Americans". Clan is who we are, and all is about clan. There is nothing beyond the clan.
Hey cousin! I prob have a few of those ancestors. Though I have to research more actual family tree.
Did one of those genetic ancestry things came back I have about approx 50% genes from Celtic countries one of them being Ireland.
It was a gift though prob shouldn’t have done the test as now I’m in a database somewhere. Though I’m already in a database for prior service so I figured ok might as well find out.
Irish are a mix of Scandis and Celt, which is why we are "different" (monsters).
So you own a connection to many brave warriors from both tribes.
Both tribes have been both very successful in expanding and taking ground, and also failures at fighting the Roman/English organized fighting.
But we have roots into the ground. We can be close to the Earth. And we are above average in size, health and intelligence, "on average". And I would say we have a wonderful history and a dashing sense of humor. I am of course not biased in any way, of course. Of course.
Read the mythology (Setanta, Finn MacCool, etc.), read the history, learn how we got where we got to, learn the mistakes we made, and resolve to own this and be better and honor your ancestors by being a total badass.
It took the English about 800-1,000 years to take over Ireland. That's because the Irish lived in local communities with local government (such as it was) with no central government.
There was no "White House" or "Congress" to take over and rule over all. They had to go village by village, and by the time they got through part of it, the previous conquests were rising up against them, and they had to do it all over again.
Hey and you wouldn’t want to put out if work the slave labor in Congo and China pulling cobalt and rare earth metals out if the ground would they?
Such racists!
/s
P.S. If you really are a Cherokee, I have always gotten along quite well with "Native Americans". They have a sense of time and the land that I like and respect.
Well. I was raised that there is an elite class that has always brutalized the populations of the world for profit and power. If not Andrew Jackson it would have been someone else. Now the only chance any human has to see peace and true freedom is to pull those people from power. None of us can walk as one and attain that. We must walk together. The only thing that stands in the way of complete tyranny is the United States Constitution. It must never fall.

... is my cousin-ly request, mo chara.
The ancestors are waiting for you at their fire.
Go find them.

Great lesson that local govenment is best.
I will take Eire by Hook or by Crook. - Cromwell.

And yes, local gummint is best.
I was re-reading your post, and thought you would like something that swirls in my head, on this topic.
"That which governs best, governs least." - Thoreau
And so say all of us.
You are exactly over target.
Damn, I love this place.
You go on, brother. I will send mental ammunition/reinforcements.

How long have you been a bigot, Mr. Cherokee?
P.S. If you really are a Cherokee, I have always gotten along quite well with "Native Americans". They have a sense of time and the land that I like and respect.
I am part Cherokee, Pawnee, and Lightfoot. Anglo as well.
I am sorry for how your ancestors were treated by Andrew Jackson, who I love and appreciate in so many ways... but not on this point.
What was done to the Cherokee was a crime.
But we also see across time and space and see that we are here and always here and we will be here when these dumbasses are dust.
