There is not enough lithium in the world for everyone to do this. And household electricity makes a small part of the total energy demand.

You should know that the construction sites for these are almost never secure. Holding up concrete trucks is the best way to hit them, but failing that, it is a lot easier to fuck them up on the ground than having to buy a .50BMG

Bullshit.
Firstly nobody knows exactly how much lithium there is. Most guesstimations range form 4 to 40 million tons.

With the most conservative estimation we still haven't used 1% of worlds total reserves at the moment.

Stone age wasn't over because of a lack of stones.
We'll never need all lithium because we will have something better in a decade or 2.

We already have something better, it just requires large facilities because of thermal demands.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium%E2%80%93sulfur_battery
The japanese use it to lighten loads on the grid in remote areas. I have frankly no idea whether that can power an industrial economy, but wikipedia says the following
>As of 2019, the maximum power of battery storage power plants is an order of magnitude less than pumped storage power plants, the most common form of grid energy storage. In terms of storage capacity, the largest battery power plants are about two orders of magnitude less than pumped hydro plants.[1]
If hydro plants can't be made large enough to get us through even a single day, I stongly doubt batteries can.
And the general fact remains that all of your experience and arguments is about a simple residential building, a energy-saving one at that I guess. How are you heating? Don't tell me you heat your home with electricity (it works, but not on solar power). Have you thought about logistics (Cars, Trains, Trucks, Ships)? What about all the myriad industrial processes necessary for our modern economy, including the part that supplies your solar cells and batteries? Many of which, btw. we have outsorced to china and other places with low energy costs. Most of which comes down to coal and other fossil fuels in the end.

The problem is that not only is the mountain top being removed, but the valleys are being filled in using the mountain remains. It causes silting of water ways, flooding issues, and of course lots of pollution from things once locked away deep underground. Places near it have higher instances of cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, pulmonary disease, and birth defects. It is both air and water pollution.

Not that it matters. The companies are so oily that you can't ever pin blame on their owners and make it stick.

No, don't use it during an emergency. That is the WORST time to abuse your tools. Once they break your emergency situation gets far far worse. Literally everyone who does not batonny chop chop knows that it wears you out more, can break your tools, and can actually injure you so badly that you can die. It isn't simply coming back and saying something like, "well any idiot can use an axe incorrectly and injure themselves," because the very act of batonny chop chop is an incorrect use of a knife in the first place.

Do you like really fucking cold winters? I went 3 months and 9days between seasonal snowfalls. It can snow in any month of the year and this year we never even got a Fall..."arctic autumn" was what the weather people called it. Below zero temps in fucking October. Butte had several -30f temps last winter. Seems like a big change from Florida

Yeah it is a big change but I hate the weather here (in addition to almost everything else) and there isn't a very good middle-ground state I could move to that isn't humid and doesn't have freezing-ass-cold winters. I figure I'll just man up and deal with it, I'm a lot better at dealing with the cold than most floridians anyway.

Is skateboard/longboard a viable mode of long distance transportation? How long of a distance could a normally fit male cover in a day without killing himself, with a light backpack, on a flat road with equal stretches of uphill/downhill/flat surface? I used to skate as a teenager, although obviusly in parks, so I'll probably recall the technique quickly.
