oil, coal, gas... i.e. fossile fuels lying under ground
¤%%link;;{½3;the addition of _more_ greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere
¤%%link;;{½3;you can be as inefficient as you want in converting and using energy, and not cause climate change
¤%%link;;{½3;.. which is not acted upon in realistic fashion yet - actions are too smallscale vs climate goals
¤%%link;;{½3;more importantly, it's about surviving and thinking longterm
¤%%link;;{½3;.. even though this game is partially about efficiency
¤%%link;;{½3;then technology can solve our big energy _wants_ in the future
¤%%link;;{½3;which is not an extreme change at all, relative to the problem at hand
¤%%link;;{½3;some science found that we would only need to live like we did in the 60's
¤%%link;;{½3;(I realize that this is also "efficiency", but is not what people mean when talking about efficiency)
¤%%link;;{½3;which implicitly means that fossile fuels need to be extracted
¤%%link;;{½3;- without concrete knowledge about how this will be done
¤%%link;;{½3;which is coupled with a blissful optimism for technological development to solve everything
¤%%link;;{½3;.. and what they mean is "efficiency of doing what we already do"
¤%%link;;{½3;many people talk about efficiency for solving climate change
¤%%link;;{½3;.. for now - in the future tech can raise the standards again
¤%%link;;{½3;our living standards, which are distributed very unevenly across people
¤%%link;;{½3;the economy need to include what life on earth values, in its calculations
¤%%link;;{½3;not letting big polluting companies pollute for free
