What’s the minimum amount of energy needed to provide a decent living—for everyone?
New research finds that global energy consumption in 2050 could be reduced to the levels of the 1960s, despite a population 3x larger.

We need far less energy than we consume

How could such a reduction in output be undertaken deliberately and, as much as possible, peacefully? We need a mechanism for GDP reduction, and for the encouragement of the shift to renewable energy, that falls primarily on the wealthy. A price for carbon, as championed by Neoclassical economists like William Nordhaus, will afflict the poor disproportionately compared to the rich. The riots with which the Gilles Jaunes movement began in France in response to carbon pricing less than 2 years ago should make it obvious that the burden of adjustment must fall on the rich rather than the poor—both within nations and between them.

One system that could work is a dual-price mechanism based on carbon rationing, as proposed by Total Carbon Rationing. Currently, for other reasons, many Central Banks are exploring the concept of “Central Bank Digital Currencies” (CBDCs), which would give every resident in a country an account at the Central Bank. Rather than being a means to create and store the national currency, these accounts could be used to provide a “Universal Carbon Credit” (UCC) to every resident of a country on an equal per capita basis per recipient—so that billionaires would receive the same annual UCC as paupers. To buy any commodity, a consumer would need to pay both its money price, as now, and its CO2 content as well, using UCCs.

Velký znečišťovatel přišel o podporu pojišťovny. „Vítr začíná pro uhelné zdroje vanout zostra,“ říká analytik – Deník N

Pojišťovny s postupujícími plány států na útlum spalování uhlí stále více promýšlejí, nakolik se jim vyplatí tento byznys podporovat. V některých případech dokonce od původních smluv ustupují. Důvodem přitom není pouze „zelená“ image, ale také hodnota akcií.

Z AMA s Gatesem : Responding to the question, “Hey Bill! Why are you buying so much farmland?” posed by one Reddit user, Gates indicated that seed science and biofuel development were major drivers of the acquisitions.

“My investment group chose to do this. It is not connected to climate,” he wrote.

.. jsem furt čekala že má teda monstrózní plán na sustainable farming/carbon capture nebo něco

Nazory to sou silny. Jen mi prosim osvetlete, jestli mate nejakej plan, jak dostat uhlik ze soucasnejch carbon sinks / nebo ho tam nechat / jak si poradime s narustem nez se dostaneme do 2050 na net-zero vyrobu energie a jak si poradime kdyz soucasny carbon sinks prestanou fungovat.
