Re:Deep Decarbonization: A Realistic Way Forward on Climate ... by bambataa on Wednesday January 29, 2020 @04:02AM (#22178693)
Clean energy solutions are only desired by the market because activism impelled governments to try to price in the externality costs of dirty energy.

How do you foresee the other environmental pressures (water, soil etc) being resolved? Are we merely maturing through a series of dirty technologies and are on the cusp of a clean tech revolution that will allow us to arbitrarily increase the Earth's carrying capacity? At what point does absolute decoupling of growth and resource consumption occur?

I do hope you're right, as it seems like the only viable path, but I am still doubtful.
