It's Not As Though We Can Keep Burning Coal In Our Power Plants. Coal Is A Finite Resource, Too. We Must Find Alternatives, And It's A Better Idea To Find Alternatives Sooner Then Wait Until We Run Out Of Coal, And In The Meantime, Put God Knows How Many Trillions Of Tons Of Co2 That Used To Be Buried Underground Into The Atmosphere.

I Think It's Important To Reason From First Principles Rather Than By Analogy. The Normal Way We Conduct Our Lives Is We Reason By Analogy. [with Analogy] We Are Doing This Because It's Like Something Else That Was Done, Or It Is Like What Other People Are Doing. [with First Principles] You Boil Things Down To The Most Fundamental Truths…and Then Reason Up From There.
