As long as we as participants in this system, so effective through externalization, don’t wake up and start acting to our best insights, we will effectively follow Easter Island.

A better world is achievable when we start acting to our best insights.

Empty words just add CO2.

Lets start by diverting the $ 20 trillion needed for upcoming refurbishing and upgrading of power plants to Concentrating Solar Power. This is not rocket science; regime actors will tell you so, but when I see what humans can do, this is merely a matter of vision, leadership and bold action.

And that‘s there’s where we’re stuck. Not in $$, logistics, materials, technology or whatever we as a society boil up to not do what is expedient now.

The crux of the problem is the market’s inability to account for the real cost. As the world’s offshore fisheries are being destroyed one after another, did market prices suddenly rise up to prevent the destruction as supplies dwindled? Nope, the destruction took place or is taking place, while we just moved towards farmed fish. Similar situation with energy IMHO. Why isn’t gas $5 /litre or how is that 2×4 stick of lumber at Home Depot so cheap?

That’s the genius and the core of the “free market” game – namely, the freedom to externalize everything you can so real market forces can be avoided!
