Built a machine that can repair itself. Send it to a nearby planet. Give it the ability to manufacture human embryos from our genetic code using only inorganic material. Make at least 2 ; let’s call them Adam and Eve. Keep this machine somewhere hidden and near them so to guide them and their offsprings for a few milleniums. Someday, if they are mature enough, tell them what happened.

Most interesting indeed.
So the cost of energy is a complex topic and this guy has studied many aspects of that.

Amongst other things he wrote :
Morgan, Tim (2013). Life After Growth. Petersfield, UK: Harriman House. ISBN 9780857193391

He discusses the energy cost of energy or : Energy return on investment

He gives an estimate of $130 trillion usd for the global cost of energy transition with a link to the source… I don’t understand how this estimate is made though.

Yes, and :
What are the real costs before subsidies ?
What are the real cost of climate damage we try to mitigate - - which is the basis for subsidies ?

That 50 ton per day I recalled from long ago. So I had to make some search, here’s what I found :

  1. Ground Level Enhancement
    These effects are usually measured as elevated levels of neutrons and muons. These events can increase the radiation dose of an individual at sea level or while in an aircraft, though not by enough to significantly increase an individual’s lifetime risk of cancer. …and
  2. "solar wind"
    400 km/s x 5 ions/cm^3^ x 1g/mol x …(6400km)^2^ x 3.1416 x 1e15cm^3^/km^3^
    … x 86400s/day x 1/(6.02e23 ions/mol) This is about 37 tons per day, mostly proton and alpha particles.

    I used the diameter of the earth instead of that of the magnetic field around the Earth, this is simplistic but should give an order of magnitude. I did not find better information and the real value should be found by someone else.

solar wind details inside :Properties and structure
Velocity and density :
“Near the Earth’s orbit at 1 astronomical unit (AU) the plasma flows at speeds ranging from 250 to 750 km/s (155–404 mi/s) with a density ranging between 3 and 10 particles per cubic centimeter and”…

Every day the Earth receives 50 tons of radioactive material from the Sun, so, can we see this in a global perspective : what are the numbers ?
