[WP] Humanity did it, we solved our energy situation. Every household and company uses renewable energy (Wind, Sun, Electricity, etc) as of 2030, 20 years later and everything's going great..... So why is the planet dying faster?

The presenter looked unconcerned and continued. “The world’s air pollution output from energy production is now a net improvement. The water used for cooling is filtered from rivers and is released as pure steam. Th...

Carrie leaned against the railing of the bridge, haloed by a bright lamp that had to have been installed not more than a month ago. She stared into the sky, trying to pinpoint with her naked eye the trajectory of that which would be not just her undoing, but the world's. She knew it was coming - they all did - and yet,...

It is a small thing. When one hears of the horrors caused by those who have owned it, one thinks it something big and grand. If one heard no description of it, one would think that perhaps it is some massive blade that drinks souls. One might think it is a suit of armor that transforms the wearer into a dreadful beast....
