On TV today I watched mobs in Los Angeles buying flowers for Mother's Day. Grown children stood shoulder to shoulder. Few wore masks. The flowers had been flown in from South America in refrigerated containers.
That's how delusional we are.
Never mind the coronavirus pandemic, still growing in California.
We burn fossil fuel to create the energy needed to operate airplanes. The price is global warming. We are making the planet inhospitable. We do not have the technology to replace the fossil fuel energy we currently depend on. Sustainable energy sources require more energy to build than they produce. Yet Americans use our energy to fly in--from another continent--refrigerated flowers.
