@petergleick I don't understand why more governments around the world don't see "our entire economy revolves around an expensive quantity in limited supply, primarily found in one of the most war-torn and politically unstable regions in the planet" as a serious national security risk.

Like, forget all of the environmental concerns, if your country were utterly dependent on corn or steel or any other commodity only found in a region that was constantly at war causing random price spikes, you'd think you'd be making removal of that dependency a nationwide priority.

If you have a global supply chain to produce solar and wind.

The presumption is swapping out the energy source for the planet killing global economy, to make the CO2 go away and that will save us when the problem is a planet killing global economy.

It will never ever live within planetary boundaries because it’s structured on being outside of them. The cheapest and healthiest and most prosperous pathway is to re-localize economies.
