About the Site
This website is written from London, United Kingdom.
The website is about growth-only-when-it’s-needed economics.
Key to this is to build a large scale all-renewables energy infrastructure.
The site deals also with the political issues and choices affecting this.
The site investigates the ideas and the key quantities to do with creating both real prosperity – that is, an economy which is both wealthy and sustainable – and a large-output energy system based fully upon renewable sources such as wind and solar.
Some examples:
We need a massive growth in off-shore renewables and in the electrification of transport and industry. We need growth in energy conservation systems and services such as healthcare. We need, however, a winding-down and eventual end to the sales of large petroleum-fuelled cars and of armaments for widespread export. In wide areas of the economy it is zero growth that is needed.
In politics, the website covers how building sustainability requires the UK to create better political and constitutional structures.
In addition, the site deals with the great illusion, advanced by the nuclear industry, that nuclear is key to combating climate change, and explains why nuclear power could never, owing to the concrete physical realities, provide more than a small proportion of the UK’s or the world’s total energy needs.
