"In this paper we introduce the Journal of Labor and Society’s special issue on the ecomodernist features of imperialism and argue that these concepts must be theorized in tandem. The introduction begins by showing how ecomodernism and imperialism combine in practice through the example of the Council of Foreign Relations’ ‘Climate Realism Initiative’. It then charts ecomodernism’s emergence as a distinct theory and practice, arguing that it can take capitalist and anti-capitalist forms, both of which reproduce imperialist mechanisms of accumulation on a world scale. The paper’s third section questions the anti-modernist critique of ecomodernism offered by the concepts of extractivism and green colonialism. We then develop what we consider a more precise and rigorously anti-imperialist critique of imperialism’s ecomodernist aspects before concluding with some political propositions about the necessity of what we call a ‘communist ecological critique’ and by summarizing the special issue’s contributions."

"Capitalist ecomodernist visions require a very rapid and large-scale buildout of zero-carbon energy infrastructure. But, under capitalism, investment and production is organized around whatever is most profitable to capital, rather than what is most necessary for achieving social and ecological goals. This creates a problem for the energy transition, because while renewables are increasingly cheap, fossil fuels are three times more profitable, in large part because they are more conducive to monopoly power (Christophers 2025). So, capital continues to flow to fossil fuels and we get inadequate investments in clean energy. In recent months, several major financial firms have abandoned their low-carbon investments because they are not profitable enough. In other words, ecomodernism’s commitment to capitalism ultimately works against its ecological objectives. This may help explain why ecomodernists tend to promote nuclear power, because an energy grid dominated by capital-intensive forms of energy production with high barriers to entry is more likely to be profitable.

The green transition ultimately cannot be left in the hands of capital. It will require substantial public finance, public works, industrial policy and planning in order to build out necessary renewable energy capacity, as well as to undertake other low-profit or zero-profit activities such as expanding public transit, insulating buildings, and regenerating ecosystems. Furthermore, increasing these activities cannot be done while national productive capacities are already maxed out by capitalist production. It will necessarily require scaling down less-necessary production, to liberate labour, engineers, resources etc to be remobilized for this purpose. Here too, this is not something that can be achieved within capitalism. Capital will not voluntarily scale down profitable forms of production."

I found a episode of the Win-Win Podcast where Isabelle Boemeke dives into some of her key theses! If you’re curious about her ideas on energy abundance, nuclear power, and sustainable growth, it’s definitely worth a listen. @collectifission @Ardubal @engravecavedave @Tallish_Tom

One of the things that stood out to me was how the conversation between @livboeree.bsky.social and Isabelle Boemeke tackles a fundamental question: Energy is the lifeblood of civilization, but how do we balance abundance with sustainability? Their discussion explores why nuclear power could be a game-changer—covering everything from safety and infrastructure to public perception—and breaks it down into some really thought-provoking angles:

- Why Pit Renewables Against Nuclear?
The episode makes a compelling case for why the ‘either/or’ mindset is holding us back. With innovations like decentralized grids and small modular reactors, the future of energy might be far more collaborative than we’ve imagined.

- Nuclear Power and AI: Surprising Parallels
Did you know nuclear power and AI share striking similarities? Both are transformative technologies that face public skepticism and require responsible stewardship. Isabelle draws fascinating parallels between the two, asking: How can we learn from the past to build a better future?

- Energy Abundance: Beyond Power
Energy abundance isn’t just about keeping the lights on—it’s about lifting people out of poverty, enabling innovation, and creating a sustainable future. Isabelle and Liv explore how we can turn this vision into reality. What’s your biggest hope for the future of energy?

- The Role of Government: Incentives and Innovation
Government policies can make or break the energy transition. Isabelle discusses how smart incentives could fast-track nuclear innovation and asks: What changes would you like to see to make this happen?

"Ted Nordhaus, co-founder and executive director of the Breakthrough Institute, talks to Leigh and Alex the 20th anniversary of "The Death of Environmentalism" and the 10th anniversary of "The Ecomodernist Manifesto". We discuss:

- The fundamental philosophical differences between "building-out" and "restraint".
- Whether industrial policy like the Inflation Reduction Act is in line with the ecomodern approach
- Why environmentalism differs in the US versus Western Europe
- Why modernisation gets lost in discussions on the environment
- What techno-optimism and what techno-fixes are
- What the Abundance Agenda is"

Good read and a nice alternative vision to the 'techno-optimist' manifesto dystopia of Andreessen et al.

"How to unite local initiatives for a more #sustainable global future"

This article challenges the belief in high-tech solutions to solve socio-environmental crises, proposing a political vision beyond “green growth” and “ #ecomodernism .” We thus introduce “ #cosmolocal ” production, a configuration that strives to connect communities around shared resources.

this is an excellent video about the relationship between patriarchy & the global biocide we're currently experiencing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddyOe7vm5R0

this video is feminist praxis for real.​

More on #Latour, two #modernities, and #ecomodernism, which appears to build on classic linear #modernization theory along Rostowian lines. What if We Have Never Been Modern in the #GlobalNorth / #GlobalSouth?: https://revisesociology.com/2017/09/19/modernization-theory/

Building on my recent #Latour post: scholars of #modernity often propose two successive phases, where recent is "liquid" (Bauman) vs. earlier "solid," "reflexive" (Giddens/Beck et al.) vs. classic, etc. But, building on Latour, there never was a "solid," classic modernity; it's just how modernity has represented itself. So what, then, of #ecomodernism, which unabashedly invokes classic modernity? Minimally, a key ecomodernist tenet, #decoupling, is in need of better #theory.

Re-reading the #Latour classic We Have Never Been Modern in early stages of writing critique of #ecomodernism à la @TheBTI (see 2015 link). Tentative argument: two modernities, two ecomodernisms, along lines of this Latour figure, and invoking earlier BTI Death of Environmentalism (2004), which celebrates mixing as much as ecomod celebrates purification. Thoughts?: http://www.ecomodernism.org

“They had this idea of molding environmentalism to attract conservatives and what actually happened was they turned into conservatives themselves—writing for Forbes, Quillete, National Review, and the Wall Street Journal,” said Sam Bliss. Bliss describes it as a tragic tale, where Nordhaus and Shellenberger turn into exactly who they didn't want to be: conservative lobbyists for techno-fixes who engage in endless battles with environmentalists.
