This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

I'm running informal sampling about the effectiveness of third party entry-level educational materials

You're not fooling me and I hope for your mental health you aren't fooling yourself.

whether it also can also create, maintain and power the current global technological society

But your links didn't provide any proof of your thesis that renewables are not capable of being autopoietic.

The solar data was 6 years out of date. It wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that a limit was reached and no progress has been made. But we have real world data showing solar costs have continued to go down dramatically over the past 6 years. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/solar-pv-prices

The textbook claimed shifting to solar would take 6% of the global gdp over a period of years. But global energy already costs 13% of global gdp. It's not out of reach and that's based on 2018 solar costs.

Do some research.
