52. Yes, but we have the technology to replace all those things
And yes, I know it will take time, but we're not actually doing it. If we made our goal to eliminate fossil fuels and started putting the infrastructure in place, I understand that it would take a few years, but the fact that we're not doing that means it will never happen. It's like just because the transition won't be immediate, we have no plans to make the transition, and that's horribly wrong. I mean, just look at the peak oil movement... their very logical theory is that this transition is going to happen whether we prepare for it or not. Shouldn't we do it now while we still have oil to keep us going until the transition is made, and before we destroy the environment completely?
