@fifischwarz @boeken @bookstodon I've read the first Wayfarer only and loved it too. Shed a few tears... I've reserved the second at the library ;-)
@fifischwarz @boeken @bookstodon I really loved this book - heard about it on Mastodon. Have just read the sequel, which is also great

what do you think it would take to achieve a global absolute decoupling?
I think we'd need a global renewable manufacturing industry that could produce/distribute/install renewables faster than the rate of energy consumption increase -- and that this industry would, itself, need to be powered by renewables.
Is that the sort of thing you have in mind?

"Efficiency doesn’t cause increases in energy use except on the margin for a limited number of cases."
Can you please provide a citation for this?

Gussy @aus.social Can we use our technology wisely, so that we can have human and planetary flourishing? If we keep chasing the old pattern of Competing for Resources and Acquiring Status then we will probably fail.
