You're ignoring the fact that technological advancement is exponential, not linear; world interconnectedness; energy storage; and other renewable energy sources such as geothermal, hydro, and wind.

technological advancement is exponential

But what specifically about the technology means you want the sunrise time to be different?

s geothermal, hydro, and wind.

None of those are a currently a significant percentage of energy usage. Nor do they have relation to sunrise/sunset that would require a change.

Wind alone accounts for over 10% of the nation's power, and is constantly growing ...

80% isn't renewable right now. And you didn't answer why that should matter to sunrise/sunset?

Also why do you downvote all posts? Are my replies off topic?

Bad faith arguments are off-topic, yes.

What is in bad faith? I hold the premise that nothing has specifically changed that would make people actually like the sunrise/sunset time change given it was tried before.

You claimed "technology" without giving specific reasons. You claimed renewable energy despite it only being 20% of today's energy generation.

You are the one who is making bad faith arguments. Then you are getting mad because you have nothing to support your opinion.
