In absolute value, it is far from being "negligible" and I remind you that without this 0,1%, there would be no life on earth.

The absolute value is not relevant to say that there would be danger in consuming. The energy consumed by man and dissipated on earth is background noise compared to that received from the sun.
What is needed is only clean energy. But I know very well that the adversaries of consumer societies don't give a damn about it, and that even if they are clean they would fight its use under fallacious pretexts like the one mentioned by J-Pierre (is it Electron who has changed his nickname again? Or his twin? : Wink: ).

What is needed is only clean energy.
Clean energies do not exist as soon as they are transformed by human intervention.

Here is an image of capitalism and its destructive greed, which all governments support despite the cries of 3/4 of the world's humans.
