This is stupid. Ignores issue of where to get power for electric cars, and that a plant-based diet isn't healthy. https://t.co/AGZzNG3Xmv

It also assumes that the only potential future energy sources are solar or wind. Completely ignores nuclear.
Thousands upon thousands of wind farms will have absolutely no impact on atmospheric physics, weather or climate as they exchange air velocity for electricity. And their rot at ing bl a des a boo N to ra d io. ReceptIoN. Not to mention how they improve our scenic vistas esp. at night with their strobes. Did I mention there used to be these creatures known as migratory birds?
Complete nutrition is possible with a strict vegan diet, but difficult. Which is why nutritional deficiencies are very common among strict vegans. The human animal is built to be an omnivore.
If it ever came to a point where both fossil and nuclear were off the table (cursed watermelons), I’d be looking at fast growing biomass (kudzu anyone?) and maturing thermal cracking of biomass into liquid fuel.
“kudzu”
I imaging at some point these ‘environmentalists’ will switch their attention to the ‘invasive’ species and this will then be taken of the table.
Also the entire pet industry will be a target for polluting local eco systems.

You’d be looking at something that has even less hope of fulfilling the needs of a civilized society than solar photovoltaic. Which is to say, less than zero hope…
