These two scenarios are not either/or - but are described to denote

will undergo massive change in very short time frames. That change
can either be positive or negative again depending on our intent as a
species.

I 100% agree, that we and others have to seriously piss and get off
that pot before that nighttime cloaked cliff takes us all by surprise.

We clearly do not have the time nor the surplus in resources to fool
around with the sorts of off-world agendas that can't deliver their
goods in a timely and affordable manner.

Terrestrial energy of mostly proven renewable alternatives, including
your PV-->H2 and your improved coal gasification-->synfuel, along with
a good many failsafe thorium reactors is way the hell and gone past
due, as well as our having an extensive and robust national energy
grid that is absolutely essential. Instead, we are doing a real bang
up job of pissing off Muslims as we inflate the cost of most
everything under the sun. Go figure.

Silly us two crazy guys for caring about the future of humanity and
that of salvaging our frail environment.
