Most people only say 50 or 100 years. I think what you are trying to hint at, in your own particularly unintelligible fashion, is that I want to stop industry. That is usually the position that fence posts ascribe to the Greens. We can do everything we do now, but powered by renewable, carbon-free electricity.
