The Next Step

The Next Step

Renewable energy, despite decades of green-policy investment across at least the Western world, has barely made a dent in fossil-fuel use worldwide.


Coal use remains very high and nuclear undeveloped. An attack on the use of oil might make life difficult in the West, where it is essential, but unlikely to influence those less developed countries. Turning the energy off in the West will starve the West but not save the planet.

So, if this is an existential threat, what should be done to suppress the coal and oil users who are not making sacrifices? Are they a threat to the world? And, if so, is any aggressive action against them justified? If so, in such a crisis, what is not justified?
