'Extraction is the material foundation of a zero-carbon world. “#GreenCapitalism” can therefore sound like an oxymoron. How can capitalism ever be green if even the technologies and infrastructures needed to harness #renewableEnergy require digging several hundred new large-scale #mines in the span of a decade?'

... people’s needs — food, shelter, water, transportation — are not always explicitly connected to energy, and even when they are, there are ways to dramatically reduce the amount of energy required to meet them.
That conclusion contradicted several decades of economic theory that suggested that increased energy use and, by extension, increased consumption would always equate to a longer lifespan and improved quality of life.

“Fossil fuel use does not contribute significantly to improvements in life expectancy.”
