Very encouraging to see at least some enthusiasm for this. This is the real way forward.
We can't just stop using energy. We can't buy our way forward with "carbon offset" fees. And, most importantly, we can't just redirect all of our environmental conservation efforts to eliminating energy use. Remember when we were going to save the rainforests? Don't forget why we called these "green" initiatives in the first place.
Sure we can. Nothing is given. We are very likely on a path of contraction over the next century. Humans are resilient, we probably won't have a full societal collapse, but we might.
If we could pick a World 3 track to be on, which one would it be? Now, what can we do to try to push ourselves onto that track? That's what gets me up in the morning.
