Using applied science as technology to manipulate the natural worlds, natural resources, the air, the water, food plants, food animals, commercial production technology and industrialization on the 4th version since we are living in the 4th Industrial Revolution of robotics with artificial intelligence.
Lithium Ion Battery electric smartphones and wearables and other consumer electronics like BEV's or battery electric vehicles that charge via AC grid power over LEVEL two connections 240vac like a welder outlet or clothing dryer outlet, or oven outlet, or electric stove outlet, I am talking about 40 amps at 240vac to serve up many dozens of miles or kilometers of range per hour of charging or way to slow to compete against a 10 gallons in under 5 minutes gas station refill that adds enough unleaded regular gasoline to our 2010 Toyota Prius III to go more than 450 miles, or 500 miles in flatter warm areas where we easily achieve more than 50 MPG.
I am talking about power plants that make grid power burning coal or natural gas, or fissioning uranium in fission power generating plants that exist as more than 450 such GW class reactor complexes worldwide. Today most or more than 90% of transportation energized by petrochemical gasoline unleaded or diesel fuel made at oil refineries, such that trucking in turbocharged diesel trucks pulling containers filled with goods, animals or plants edible, the basis of logistics for the US economy much more than rail transport because the automakers at the start of the 20th century ripped up a lot of the then railways to make room for roads and highways to make Americans depended on automobiles as the only practical way to get around, and that could not be more clear than in the rural area of Oregon I find myself in visiting family right now for example, looking glass Oregon, southwest of Roseburg Oregon, USA for example, in Douglass Country.
I really like the conservative Christian culture hear with many other people who are friendly and polite and loving and fair and reasonable, virtually no traffic congestion and something of a slow peaceful economy without big industry, like a kind of miracle of calm American west that I have long dreamed about growing up in busy congesting King County, WA, USA, about 10 miles easy of Seattle the most famous city in Washington State USA.
Mining rocks, minerals, the materials to make goods, the foundation of the material economies that work based on selling goods or physical things made of minerals like glass, steel, plastic, wood, things we render from the natural world for human purposes, to subjugate nature and oil to serve mankind's development and globalization goals.
How to balance this against the public good or health of ecosystems and environments where our air, water and food comes from, that's the goal of sustainability and renewable development, or green culture to reduce the toxic impacts of mindless senseless greedy focus industrialization like many UPF or ultra processed western industrial foods making people sick with preventable diseases today for example.
