Your comment really is important. Most of these diacussions seem to assume that as long as we transition from ICE to EVs and Coal to Solar then everything will be fine. We need to learn to cope with less.

My wife and I were discussing this the other day actually. I was born in 86 so I'm not terribly old, but even I remember growing up as a kid in Idaho that one didn't just go to the grocery store to buy salmon--it wasn't really available. If you wanted salmon, you had to plan for it. Nowadays I can find salmon at every grocery store at any inpulse. Is it nice? Yes. Necessary? No.
