minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•4 months agoNot sure what you’re getting at. Increased system efficiency lowers total emissions or at least increases work capacity.
minus-squareRimulinkfedilink6•4 months agoYeah, but no https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox The climate doesn’t give a toss how much value for shareholders is generated, all that matters is the total amount of emissions.

What we can do is work on how energy is generated and increase efficiency. And this has nothing to do with shareholders.
