Very important discussion! Thank you!

Good luck 😁

What we need is a small group of informed, caring individuals who are at the hearts of the governments and industries that are essential to green energy. A Central Planning Commitee, if you will. They can decide just what is the best solution for the remaining 7 billion of us. Only they can make everyone go slow enough to ensure the energy transition happens in time.

What is more valuable for humans...10€ gasoline or 10€ pokemon cards? The rational of our monetary System brought us here. Do not expect a solution within.

I agree. And yet, the cards should be valued, because people cannot be trusted with gasoline. High energy consumption, and growing financial debt will never resolve as long as fossil energy is available.
