I'm thinking the quality of fairness and spirituality are not mutually exclusive.
Yes, but fairness can sometimes exist purely in the framework of logic, as well., Consideration of long-term consequences of actions, and such.

Sometimes that happens. I'm holding a few for later release, see something funny, and start laughing, and, oops!You didn't start farting, too?

Made a last minute decision to not go to the flea market this morning. Instead I picked up my wife after work and went out to eat. There's a fellow I hang out with at the flea market and I usually arrive there 30 minutes before him. He texted me during breakfast "scored a Pioneer SX-727 for $60". Happy for him but

Great series in my opinion. Billy Bob is believable, the part.
The use of coke in steel manufacturing may be coming to an end.
In Sweden, companies are cleaning up steel production – one of the world’s biggest carbon problems
In Sweden, companies are pioneering a major climate solution: fossil fuel-free steel made from hydrogen created by renewable energy.

That would eliminate what is probably the biggest single CO2-producing stage of the steel making process.

I think the only thing that consumer care about is will he be ahead in $. It is kind of like going into business, the motive is to make $ ASAP.
I was looking at power stations made by Anker, Jackery and several other top brands. These are for powering your house in the event of an outage. Most of these companies also sell solar panels, separately of course. To recharge a power station with a solar panel takes 3 to 4 times as long as plugging it in. A former coworker had a solar power bank. She left it outdoors in an area that gets sunshine all day long for 2 days in a row. It only got to 60%. So, solar still has a long way to go to be reliable. I'm not going to say much about the modern day windmill other than it's a joke.
That's true of most people.

This house is running on roof solar, and it is working well. The break-even period is about 6 years. Sooner if the rate goes up (which is a good bet). Assuming the panels are good for 25 years, I hope to get at least 19 years of "profit" Problem is it is grid tied, no lights if grid goes down.
I am making a small one or two stand-alone system also with 3 to 6 batteries on 2 to 6 solar panels. I have one system with 2 panels and 3 batteries now running 3 lights and this computer for several months already. I think it gives me back about $10 each month..
Before I make statements like I did, it be helpful if only my old brain would remember that I am a lot more demanding than most people when it comes to anticipated quality for the price. That's way too easily forgotten.
So, the only way I could or would rely upon solar panels with batteries would be if they could keep the house off grid. In all likelihood, I would probably have some kind generator system that didn't require LPG/Natural gas, gasoline, diesel, etc. An old fashioned windmill or water wheel if at all possible.
Hopefully, your system will serve you at least as well as you expect, preferably 100 times as well.
If you're drag racing, they're only a quarter mile apart and it won't take long to travel that distance. If you're going the distance, it will take longer. Just a metaphor.Just pondered:
