    Energy Consumption is not the Problem

    Posted on June 7, 2026June 7, 2026

    Energy consumption is not the problem. The Sun provides more renewable energy than humanity could ever need. The problem is our stubborn dependence on oil for profit and power, and the carbon emissions that continue to destabilize the climate.

    Resource consumption is not the problem either. With abundant renewable energy, we could recycle far more effectively and eventually access resources beyond Earth. Energy is the limiting factor.

    Artificial intelligence is not the problem. Why cling to unnecessary corporate jobs when abundant clean energy and intelligent machines could help provide the essentials for human flourishing? The challenge is not technology itself, but how we choose to organize society around it.
