Thats not the only solution.
Restricting their total energy and/or pollution budgets (so they dont just build their own terrible power plants) will force them to power with renewable energy AND develop more energy-efficient hardware if they want to keep scaling up the capacity.


The horse is out of the barn. If they want to build a completely solar powered mega slop farm, I say go for it. The whole thing is either going to die out or get better as long as we don’t just let it consume the planet in the meanwhile.
