If energy is like money, then this is the old 'increase your income or decrease your expenses' dilemma. Increasing income is naturally the more desirable option, decreasing expenses can still be a reasonable temporary measure until you can get that promotion/career change/side hustle off the ground.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoIf energy is like money, demand will always increase to be just slightly over supply.
- suoduandao2 3y agoOr decrease to be just slightly over supply. We don’t like to think about it but the current energy mix plus geopolitical factors make that a distinct possibility.
- llimos 3y agoYes, of course. But parts of the discourse make it sound like we need to reduce our energy usage as some kind of 'moral imperative'. They give the impression that they'd be disappointed if everyone could get everything they wanted with zero cost to the environment.
