There is a massive need for degrowth. Carbon capture is a scam — the thermodynamics just don't make sense. It's far easier to not pollute the first place than to pollute and then expend even more energy trying to undo the damage. The answer is less, not more: compact housing, compact communities, compact cities, efficient transit, etc. The way we have built the world relies on assumptions about limitless resources, and in order to get through this problem we need to fundamentally reconsider how we approach using resources. What can be done today: - zoning reform (in the USA especially) - investment in small dense housing - investment in transit What isn't going to help: - Business As Usual (BAU) But "Green" - Dumping more energy into the system Nuclear reactors can be great, but they do not resolve the civilization-level energy waste problem.
