Jevon's Paradox is relevant here. No matter how efficient we get we'll use more energy unless there is a conscious decision to pump the brakes.

Any favorite strength exercises you like for runners?

Fantastic article!
I fear the confusion and misunderstanding you allude to in this piece, at least among many leaders, is actually a psychological *inability* to face the reality of the situation.

So even if we somehow miraculously transitioned completely away from oil as an energy source, we would still be digging it out of the ground in large quantities. The non-fuel components in a barrel are a small portion... So what would we do with the rest? I don't see how we wouldn't burn that too 😐

Not too mention the tens of thousands of other products we all rely on that come from oil. Pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, electronic components, packaging... our entire civilization is built on the back of this resource. 1/2

I'm in an dense urban center right now (Kuala Lumpur) and went to the Easten outskirts of the city this weekend.
I could not believe the difference in air quality and temperature just 6km away from the center!
Fresh breeze, vegetation smells, birds chirping... It has such a big effect on us 🌳🌲🦜🙂

Wow this is amazing! I'd love to learn more about how you did this. Would you maybe be up for a casual interview? It could be email / text based if you want but I think a Convo would be awesome. I'm trying to start sharing some things I learn on this subject
