I never used 5.25", only 3.5", but I called them floppies.
I was wondering if the fact that I never used the floppy version was the reason I didn't feel the need to differentiate, but it seems that it's more complicated.

fuels will need to meet that 100kWh/day, every day.
So, even if the resources for renewables are more expensive, there's no argument that goes in favour of fossil fuels.

before, but for the 10kWh/day on the first day, the second day, the third, etc.
Mathematically, fossil fuels need to fill the area under an energy usage curve, while renewables only need to meet an increase.
And after a few centuries, when everyone's energy usage has increased tenfold, fossil

11kWh/day, with renewables, you need to obtain 1kWh/day worth of resources.
The same is true if you went from 20 to 21, 100 to 101, etc. It has to meet the increase.
With fossil fuels, you need to not only obtain the resources for that extra 1kWh/day on the last day, and the slightly less the day

Personally, I think that this is likely, though not certain.
But, it's still worth transitioning to renewables. Mathematically, the cost of extracting resources for renewables and fossil fuels aren't comparable.

If we achieve the former before we achieve the latter, there's a good chance that could end in disaster, even if we're extremely careful with it. The existence of such a system could pose a serious threat, well before its creators approve its use.

The solution to the Fermi paradox is actually that every intelligent species owes a tonne of money to one very rich alien who moved universes and they're trying to play extinct

And searching for what you want doesn't help, either. You'll either get ads, or links to these recommendation sites, or to top ten lists that are always updated last month and have affiliate links. SEO slop. Search doesn't help you discover things anymore unless you almost know the answer.
