@Mac_CZ@mastodon.macsnet.cz Thanks for explanation. Except for meat it quite makes sense to me. What's wrong on using lowest amount of energy possible and not using cars?
I managed to reduce my car trips to about 25% by switching to bike for commutes. The #bike paid for itself within one year. With previous #eScooter it took 2 years. And I'm hot as hell now! 😀
I also cannot find the problem with reducing #energy usage as it literally equals saved money.
I definitely do have issue with all these #subsidies around though, that's for sure - especially when we are giving money so people could buy #cars while these money comes from people who will never be able to buy an apartment .. that's just silly...

@schmaker Because progress and prosperity requires lots of energy. Progress was so exponentially accelerated in the past 200 years because of access to huge amount of cheap energy. It's of course good to be more efficient, but it still means using more energy overall, because you can the more and more stuff at the same time.
