  3. theguardian.com/commentisfree/. "Donald Trump’s unjustified war on #Iran & the resulting global #fuel #crisis is a continuing reminder that true #energy #security & #independence will continue to elude us so long as we remain dependent on #fossilfuels." The problem is, #renewable energy = #electricity, & electricity = 21% of final energy #consumption, so even if ALL electricity was generated by #renewables, that still leaves a big gap filled by #oil, #gas & #coal, which supply #rawmaterials as well.

  5. A yearning for the idyllic forest scene and cellulose factories

    When they want to ‘get away from it all’ and ‘go for a drive’ through nature, the idyllic forest scene, they are in denial that the romantic craving for the bush turns out to be industrial plantations.

    “Nature ... is a planned product of the forestry industry, a purely wisely placed storehouse for cellulose production, which is readily apparent.”
    - The Man Without Qualities, Robert Musil, 1930
