He didn't actually mention oil. It was only the following (at 3:26 in the video):
- Fresh water
- Fisheries
- Forests
- Top soil
Top soil is certainly one I rarely hear mentioned. Beyond that the other three though banal are the most important so what else is he supposed to say?
There's a lot of news and Elon Musk / Solar is doing very well at trying to get people to move off oil. But I don't hear of anyone near the same scale doing things to to solve the Fisheries / Forests / Water problems.
- trhway 11y agoFisheries - looking at Norway coast i think we'll be able to scale fish farming to feed even 50B Earth population. Forests - well, too bad for them (and for us) Water - once it priced more correctly, like with oil/gas (we still have many socialized externalities even there of course), market machinery will start to pickup bringing up more efficient use as well as various projects to efficiently produce and geographically redistribute water (like moving the record snow from Boston to the record drought striken CA :)
- prawn 11y agoOn fish, is part of the problem the success of marketing labels like "wild caught" and "ocean fresh", or John West's taglines implying quality but serious wastage? The first two imply that farm/factory-raised are inferior.
