I’ll look into it a bit more, but claiming decentralized hydrocarbon extraction wouldn’t be feasible but biogas etc would be is a stretch to me, especially with the caveats of needing minimized demand or having new technology available.
And while I understand not claiming to have all the answers (and this not being the best medium for long explanations), dealing with economic bads is a fundamental issue. Not having a sufficient solution is a big part of why we’ve got climate change, micro plastics in everything, etc., in the current system. I’m not a pollyanna; I don’t think figuring it out along the way is sufficient.
Anyway, thanks for the conversation. You introduced me to some new ideas. I think it’s getting a little too hand-wavy to continue, though. You’ve got me curious enough to look up some things, so I think this counts as a success for both of us. Have a good one.
