Nice lecture. This is really a productive way of thinking how to solve the (future) problems of peakoil and climate change. I like this.

Nice thoughts, but it's way too late in the game.

Also, let's forget all notions of growth, whether it be of the conventional or the sc. "smart" variety. Growth is just growth, and for the most part it's not going to be realized in the future. Any plan built on growth is going to come crashing down.

Do you realize that there isn't a noteworthy economy or a financial system on the planet that can survive constantly diminishing energy and resources? The future has to be bigger or it all crashes.
