Notably, we will eventually (very long term) need more power of the right kind. The Earth is in thermodynamic equilibrium with space. If we generally a lot more power here on the surface to power machinery and whatnot, that energy eventually all becomes heat, and shifts the Earth's thermal...
Since you are recording in December, I'm going to suggest that there is a substantial thermal difference between inside and outside. Here I'm assuming you are some place where it gets reasonably chilly in December. If that is the case, we may note that warmer air expands -- fewer molecules /...
