“No. It’s time for open source equipment development and abolition of all regulations against owner-built houses and tiny manufacturing operations anywhere.”
I’ll get totally flamed for this ... but one guy who used to understand all that was Jerry Brown, yes Governor Moonbeam. But when he ran against Clinton in 1992 his debate points were very clear about the relationship between the three E’s:
- Energy
- Economy
- Environment
Jerry Brown had a very solid theory that keeping those three in balance by adjusting one or two as needed, would ensure constant sustainable growth. For example he wasn’t averse to environmental deregulation when it stood in the way of energy production and economic growth.
I think his formula still makes sense, even if he doesn’t.
