Wir leben in einer Märchenwirtschaft, die die einen großen Teil ihrer Kosten externalisiert, also auf andere, die Zukunft oder die Allgemeinheit abwälzt. Besonders krass: die falsch subventionierte "konventionelle" #Landwirtschaft und #Ernährung. https://digioneer.pro/die-rechnung-kommt-spater/?ref=daily-newsletter #TrueCost

Kostenwahrheit beim Essen: 5–10 % des BIP | The Digioneer

Eine Studie von 123 Fachleuten beziffert die versteckten Kosten unseres Essens auf fünf bis zehn Prozent des BIP. Es gibt einen offenen Brief, eine Wissenschafterin des Jahres und einen klaren Plan. Und trotzdem hat das System auf Halten gedrückt. Über die teuerste Warteschleife des Landes.

@PartijvoordeDieren helemaal mee eens: de vervuiler zal zelf zijn vervuilingskosten moeten betalen.
Die kunnen in de prijs verrekend. Dan hebben we als consument meteen een goed beeld van de werkelijke kosten #truecost

I Live 500 Feet From A Bitcoin Mine. My Life Is Hell.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7_WDzPyoqU

We went to a small Texas town where one Bitcoin mining facility uses as much power as the entire city of Austin.
Everyone is town is affected by the constant noise from the crypto facility, even the animals.
One resident told us: "Every person here is sick.”

[this is nuts; everything the average #Ghanaian needs to get done with #LNG-power generation could be done with the ample free energy pouring down upon them in abundance -- John Gakpo can mill his corn to make #kenkey – #Ghana’s staple -- at a fraction of the #truecost of his #fossilfuel power.]

Ghana is heavily relying on gas to meet its growing power needs. Gas generates half of its electricity, while less than 1% comes from solar.

Will Ghana’s gas gamble perpetuate a cycle of fossil-fuel related debt?

West African country is enduring hard times – and critics say plan to import liquefied natural gas will only make things worse

"One of the central problems of current #FoodSystems is that many of the costs of harmful foods are not reflected in market prices [while] the benefits of healthful foods are not appreciated."
Great piece of research on the #TrueCost of food.
