I understand your point, but i disagree with the conclusion. If anything, this shows that we need to use less energy overall and invest in durable infrastructure/lifestyles. There's no magical energy source that's going to make you fully self-sufficient (as a territory) without fucking up your local environment. We have such an abundance of energy and it's wasted on such bullshit, it's incredible. And by this i don't just mean people who buy IoT or take the plane, i do mean that most of the waste comes from our industrial system favoring private competition and planned obsolescence instead of resource efficiency and a repair economy.
