These people have a funny way of saying "Environmentalists have been proved right yet again."
Energy scarcity is the reality, or did they miss that part? Yeah they missed that part.
The cheapest energy is the shit we never (dig up and) burn.

Local is a practical constraint that brings communities within planetary boundaries. Human invention should focus on it.
