Back in the 70s energy crisis I studied homeowner simple solar and alternative energy. It was quite a wave of popularity back then. The Runnings Fleet and Farm stores even stocked stills to make fuel for the tractors from your corn, I remember looking at it on the shelf.
Was interesting times.
None of this is new.
Civilizations use the best resources while they can. When they cant they move on to the next.
Not that many decades ago whale blubber was traded as a fuel source, energy source.
It ran its course and we moved on.
I guess history 100 years from now will have to decide if we are on an intelligent course at the present time with all this.
I love studying the alternatives and using them where they fit. Dropping proven energy supplies without a good handle on what will replace them, without the infrastructure there, seems odd. See what history says in a few decades I guess.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
