I love this obsolescence argument threading here!
It trumps the #1 reason for hastening the "save the planet" era, which is only a few decades old, now. I still laugh, (and worry) about the age of Distopia, prophesized by movies like Mel Gibson's Road Warrior. If mother nature doesn't shake us off first, humanity is probably doomed to survive as long as possible with whatever natural resources are left for such survival. SORRY...I just don't see electric power being useful to bands of nomads looking for water and gasoline. Hydro and Nuclear power sourced electricity will go away. Just like the ether of the internet one day, because the sourcing by producers will die away during Distopia chaos. If not the Caldera in Yellowstone, a rogue comet from the Asteroid belt , or a nuclear holocaust, what's left of humanity will still be looking for potable water and gas to fill the can for that ICV.
