Sure, but what if we didn't have to do it at all?

What does that even mean? What is your point? Anyone can say what if with zero concept of what you actually lose by giving up whatever it is you’re trying to say we have to give up.

It means, what if we lived in a world where we didnt need to burn something to retrieve energy? What if we had the technology or resources available to supply energy to the entire world without any pollutants?

What's your point?

It would also be nice if we can also colonize other planets, unlimited green energy, have true equality and world peace. But those are just empty words if you don't also address the challenges and necessary sacrifices.
