…I’ve been saying quite often on here that Europe consumes about 5 times more oil than it produces. When I drop that into energy-blind threads on here it’s mostly ignored.
But not only will that reality not go away, when we factor in natural gas as well as oil, the picture is substantially worse. And that’s before our LNG contracts got set on fire by Trump and Netanyahu.

"Post-growth transformation faces categorically different barriers than growth-oriented scenarios. While post-growth will encounter stronger socio-cultural and political opposition from affluent classes and pro-capitalist actors who would see diminished power, it faces weaker geophysical and technological feasibility concerns by decreasing demand for energy, materials, and land."

"Outgrow the System är en tankeväckande dokumentärfilm om övergången till ett hållbart ekonomiskt system.
"Ändra systemet, inte klimatet" är ett vanligt krav inom klimatrörelsen. Men vilket slags system vill vi egentligen ha? Möt de nya ekonomiska perspektiven som har potential att förändra världen i grunden."

Was wäre, wenn Wirtschaft nicht Gewinnmaximierung, sondern soziales und ökologisches Gleichgewicht anstrebte? Ökonomische Vordenker entwerfen Alternativen: von Donut-Ökonomie und Degrowth über mehr Mitbestimmung der Beschäftigten bis hin zu Unternehmen, die Überschüsse reinvestieren, statt Dividenden auszuschütten.
"Malmö Järnhandel har varit ett stående inslag på Stora Nygatan 24 sedan den startades av Matti för mer än 15 år sedan. Nu ska Matti gå i pension, men det behöver inte betyda att järnhandeln läggs ner! Hjälp oss att kollektivt köpa och driva butiken vidare!"
