    we should create such a society with taxation and regularion. resources are finite but we have them left and I agree we have to use them wisely. I often point out that we would get in excess of a barrels worth of oil for every one spent in the heyday of the oil age but now we just get a few but wind/solar/etc lets us recoup way more energy per barrel again.

        we know how. taxation and regulation. Decisions based on rigorous studies that are repeated and funding to do so and also just doing what has been successful elsewhere.

          Unfortunately that’s the what. How do you gain the power to implement such a society?

            Im not looking to be a dictator. I exercise what power I have to push for democracy and human rights. Its been back and forth and on a losing trend but things have been worse and been up ended for the better in the past. I am inspired by the people who have marched and stood by me. There is nothing stopping their tricks but in the end they need the consent of the elected if they want an orderly flourishing society.
