Actually the thing most likely to mitigate all this is technology but govt investment has so far been investing in vanilla crony businesses like solar panels. It requires a game changer like fusion nuclear energy, large cheap efficient battery retention for solar, or warp drive

What's your problem with solar panels?

You can’t store it. If you have to tell Californians to shut down their air conditioning from 4-7 when they are just getting home into their hot houses it’s not much of a solution. You could go nuclear but that has obvious problems too.

iPhone with spotty WiFi. I’m at a resort bbq (for a wedding) where only 1 family out of 50 wearing masks and we just finished all you can eat steak and lobster. Most families have 3 generations, 40+ kids here and we are the darkest people. Met some rando drunks from zona just learning to ride and we toasted “f fauci”. You guys would be horrified.

You can't store it? Any energy can be stored. Current methods in use or development include chemical batteries (there is even a line item on the California ISO daily charts for it http://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/supply.html -- near the bottom of the page), pumping water uphill to retrieve the energy later by reversing the pump as a generator, spinning up flywheels, or compressing air.

Nuclear's biggest problems have been managerial and political, including such examples as Chernobyl and San Onofre. The Fukushima reactors failed after the earthquake and tsunami because of a simple design error in the auxiliary equipment -- if the standby pumps had not failed they would all be operational today.

And then there is the Gates-backed nuclear reactor design -- no chance of a steam explosion or hydrogen fire because the working fluid is liquid sodium. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/08/bill-gates-terrapower-is-building-next-generation-nuclear-power.html

I own a home in Arizona, more than half the people wear masks and are smart about things . . . just saying.

“The truth” Lol! And do you see that a “woman” needs special compensation concerning her opinion? Do you see personal identifiers as a way to define how you feel people should be treated?

I actually chalk it up to the fact that the vast majority of people have no risk and therefor don't want to take a vaccine.

The at risk group at 65+ age range is close to 90% vaccinated. That is the group that accounted for 80+% of all deaths. The rest at younger ages? Mainly people with serious health issues.

I imagine if they had the stats for the under 65 age group who had serious health risks, you would find an extremely high vax rate there as well.

Imagine that. And high risk folks would be free to choose how they would mitigate risk by social distancing, mask wearing, optimum diet, exercise, meditation, alt meds, etc.
