Efficiency is not the same as negative growth.
There are actual, real-life proponents of policies that would have us shrink our economies and decrease the standard of living.
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoYes, those that would rather subsidize fossil fuels than efficiency and cheap renewables. They're suprisingly prominent and running many major economies.

Energy production often impacts negatively the surroundings of the production area and that's why even those who boast for energy production at all cost are also NIMBY folks. Notice how wealthy prefer to live away from energy production sites, in prestine environment? turns out the poor and the middle class want that too.
