And globalization needs to go away as quickly as possible.
- lidHanteyk 7y agoGlobalization is an inevitable consequence of better connectivity, faster communication, and tighter logistics. Why would it "go away"? Additionally, why is globalization a bad thing when it comes to energy generation and consumption? The fact that it is possible to sell energy across national borders, for example, makes energy markets more efficient and wastes less energy. Edit: To directly address grandparent, oil made globalization possible. It no longer is needed in order to continue having global communities, just cheapest for shipping.

Without humongous amounts of moving cargo (did you know that humans now are moving more mass every year than any natural phenomenon?), globalisation is moot. People seem to believe that "services" are somehow entirely disconnected from hardware. There aren't; almost all services are about managing actual physical influxes. If we cease trading goods and people with China in any significant amount, then information influx will dry out in proportion.
