Yes, I do use a solar and coal powered computer. The solar panels are directly connected but they're only part of my power supply and it took fossil fuels to make and move and install them.

There is also a fossil fuel input into my garden and my canning jars (for food I grow).

I hope Malthus is wrong and I hope I am wrong and growth can continue forever on a finite planet without adverse consequences. It would be nice to see some actual evidence for that. Rhetoric is merely psychological evidence, not proof that ecological principles somehow do not apply to our society.

We're past Peaked Oil but Peak Denial is probably far in the future.

It was a very educational experience in the 1990s to do a large share of the technical work deconstructing the Intercounty Connector superhighway, and even more educational to watch how the environmental groups did not hold firm to stop the ICC. The interstate highways will be one of our Angkor Wat type ruins for future generations.
