I really like Gerry, who is a degrowth advocate like myself and we mostly agree. We badly need to cut consumption in the industrialized world and we are doing the opposite.
Still, this is an example of a case where some of the factoids he publishes are oil and gas industry propaganda: things that were once true but are no longer. Or things that are dramatically worse when you’re mining/shipping/burning oil, gas and coal all over. Once made a solar panel generates for *25 yrs.*
