A depressing truth from Florian Urban.
We're not going to manage to transition away from fossil fuels without a massive conscious push from everyone. They are far too convenient. So let's keep pushing.

Humans are weak. Their muscle power is about 0.6 kWh in 8 hrs, as much as 5 g of crude oil. And oil is still cheap –just $0.03 for 5 g.
No wonder why no one builds their house with muscle power any more, as people did on Lewis in 1875...
