It makes a lot of sense to me that PV and wind power could have subtle undesirable effects that we don't know about until it scales up.

Taking gigawatts of energy out of the planet ecology and redirecting it to something else seems like it could have drawbacks. Of course, on net it seems likely to still be a significant improvement over burning hydrocarbons.

“…good enough” and why is it that we can’t be a part of the planet’s ecology? it must have happened when we exceeded the beaver and ascended. there’s a cake joke in this somewhere but i’d rather just suggest it than wait for the joke to come to me.

this is what concerns me about geothermal and hydrogen production... the latter more so because clean water is a scares resource as it is.

But It would not surprise me at all if sucking some of the heat out of the earth would have some undesirable effects.
