We keep engineering new and ingenious ways to extract more oil from mostly-not-oil, but that’s destroying the planet.

Before we were doing that we were destroying the planet by killing whales and burning coal. We haven't quit burning coal though, but we have managed to cut back on killing whales.

Elon’s Hyperloop was never a good idea, and it’s fortunate it was never actually built and probably will never be built.
