Renewable energy is already cheaper than fossil fuels and is quickly overtaking them in new energy capacity coming online. But renewables are not replacing already existing fossil fuel use nearly as quickly. This is the problem of relying on capitalist growth when what we really need is some kind of targeted degrowth to shrink the FF industry.

2026-05-05 00:06:55 UTC

Capitalism is defined by its crises and internal contradictions. It actually requires inequality and scarcity in order to function. If capitalism ever actually delivered wealth equality and abundance it would, by definition, no longer be capitalism.

The myth of “AI” is that you can use it to offload lower function mental activity in order to free up higher function. But this assumes that that higher function of thought can operate without the lower to support it, which is in pretty much direct contradiction of all philosophy of mind.

2026-04-28 12:29:15 UTC

Most of us have been desensitized to the risks of climate change and ecological collapse. Even those of us who are aware of the problem rarely think about its full scope, but the reality is civilizational-scale threats within this century. It’s virtually impossible to overreact to the urgency.

This Earth Day I would like to remind everyone that environmentalism cannot be anti-humanity. Environmental discourse is often rife with misanthropy, but blaming all of humanity for ecological destruction misses the true cause. Global capitalism exploits people as much as it does the land. It's the system that is responsible, and that’s what we need to change.

2026-04-21 17:20:46 UTC

Writing a research grant proposal is cool because it’s basically just asking for a tiny sum of money to generate knowledge that could definitely benefit society but won’t because someone who is already rich needs to be richer

2026-04-15 13:14:14 UTC

Demand for oil is tanking on rising costs, and now is the time to fast track our transition to renewable energy. Allowing the fossil fuel industry to shrink is a degrowth strategy that would allow for ramped up renewables production while still lowering total greenhouse gas emissions.

We don’t need better leaders. We need to become leaders ourselves. We need a thousand more leaders, a million even, and more. We need to educate, organize, and empower ourselves if we want to meaningfully challenge the hierarchical, patriarchal, capitalist society that currently dominates humanity.

Communities lack sovereignty in virtually every aspect of daily life. Food, energy, housing, transportation, and the environment are controlled by political and economic forces existing far beyond the reach of neighborhoods, towns, and most cities. We desperately need new forms of producing what we need that are democratically controlled at the local scale.

My hottest take is that I think golf courses should be abolished. Not because of how wasteful it is to upkeep that much grass (it’s very wasteful), but because I’m a hater and I think golf simply sucks as a sport. I’ll be blocking and reporting anyone who disagrees. Thanks, have a good weekend.

Boosting this because I too would like to know (question is about community-owned solar and wind projects)

2026-03-19 22:55:09 UTC

Community-owned solar and wind projects might be the most promising way to switch to renewables, cut electricity emissions, and build energy resilience at scale. We don’t have to wait for energy corporations or governments to make the switch for us. We can do it ourselves

2026-03-18 13:55:31 UTC

If one were to design a strategy for maximizing damage to the US public, it’d be hard to find a more effective approach than gutting research and academia, eliminating basic public health, halting renewable energy projects, spiking energy prices domestically, and starting multiple international conflicts.

2026-03-17 22:29:05 UTC

While the US government is busy trying to create a humanitarian crisis in Cuba by choking off their oil, China is offering aid by providing solar power installations. Just in case you’re wondering who the bad guys and good guys are.

2026-03-12 15:23:22 UTC

Targeted degrowth alongside a switch to renewable energy could make global oil crises a thing of the past. And it would also have the added benefit of reducing carbon emissions, improving public health, and increasing quality of life for many. This is a future we can easily have.

The thing about GenAI is that even if they were able to fix the "hallucinations" problem, you could still never trust it to provide accurate information instead of adhering to a view that best aligns/benefits whomever owns the model you're using

Elites are so out of touch. They’re entirely committed to fossil fuels, AI, enshittification, war and worker exploitation. All the while the public is increasingly experiencing the human and environmental consequences of the ultra rich and their lifestyles. A reckoning is coming.

2026-03-03 14:14:25 UTC

This war is really going to drive home the point that it’s not a great idea for society to depend on fossil fuels that are completely vulnerable to petrostate warmongering

The DOJ has been credibly accused of covering up the rape and sexual assault of a child by the President of the United States. Why is this not *the top story* everywhere?

2026-02-25 14:05:37 UTC

It’s becoming increasingly clear that those in power view climate change as an opportunity for imperialist, Arctic expansion, rather than a crisis to be mitigated. The potential conflicts and wars to come will never benefit the people or the working class. The demand is no war but class war.

2026-02-19 13:36:10 UTC

Wildfires torching Oklahoma in February should be a sign to everyone of what’s to come. Capitalism is pushing the ecosphere well beyond the conditions which allowed society to develop. There will be consequences.

One of the more overlooked (but no less insidious) aspects of AI is its purpose to deskill the workforce. Workers are much easier to exploit if they no longer know how to code, design, engineer, write, or even think. Labor has much less power without skill.

Do you think this comes down to a lack of subject matter education/expertise? I would think that some knowledge of the issues would be required to cover them, along with the experience of following a particular beat long term. Or maybe the whole thing is just cynical posturing at this point

why would the popularity of a perspective on policy be more relevant than its effects? Is every perspective equally justified? I’m not convinced that “this person said x and this person said y” has any net positive impact on society

Journalism is not about presenting “both sides” of an issue. It’s about finding the truth and telling it. And doing so regardless of whether or not it’s popular, profitable, or in the interests of the powerful.

2026-02-16 13:51:06 UTC

“Sustainability” means a level of economic activity that can be sustained. Capitalism requires unending growth, which in turn requires unending raw materials and infinite capacity to absorb waste. Our planet provides neither, so it’s not difficult to see the contradiction.

The truth is that society needs to develop ethically and ecologically more than it does technologically. That's not to say that we should shun technology, but our development along other lines lags far behind our technological capacity.

One thing the Epstein files reveal is that the capitalist billionaires absolutely have class solidarity. The rest of us should too.

2026-02-10 13:34:38 UTC

I’ve said it before, but it needs repeating: We already have all the knowledge and technology we need to make an ecological society. It is our political and economic structures that prevent it. The quest for unlimited growth and accumulation exploits both people and our environment.

2026-02-09 23:56:16 UTC

The 40-hour work week was implemented in the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1940, now 86 years ago. That’s 86 years of revolutionary technological advancement in computing, automation, transportation, communication, logistics, agriculture, energy, and manufacturing. And yet, we’re still expected to work 40 hours/week. Work still dominates our lives. Why? Why should we let this continue?

Reconciling our relationship with nature requires that we first confront our static and stationary definitions of it, which are often either inadequate or intentionally distorted in order to serve hierarchical interests. Nature is a state of change. It’s a process of always-becoming.

Borders are a social construct. They don’t exist in nature. You cannot definitively locate the exact end of one ecosystem and the beginning of another. Nature is a gradient. Borders are lines on a map, political entities that exist to serve imperialist, nationalist, and capitalist interest.

I think capitalism will end eventually, but I have no idea how or when. Maybe a revolution will rise up and overthrow it. Maybe we’ll transition via some version of socialism. I don’t know, but I do know that for either to occur, and to prevent something worse from taking its place, we need to organize. We need to be orders of magnitude more organized than we are now.

I very much dislike doing any kind of self promotion or asking for money. However, I have a request.
Brief Ecology is looking to expand, move beyond our newsletter (off substack, specifically), and make everything we publish free to read. Which means we'll need some cash to do it. So we're launching a fundraiser.
If you have a some extra coins, and feel so inclined, please toss some our way, or help spread the word by sharing this. Much obliged.

John Bellamy Foster is probably the most well known person working at the intersection of ecology and socialism. Also Kohei Saito and Naomi Klein

For too long workers’ issues have been seen as separate from environmental ones, but capitalist exploitation of both is one in the same. Merging the labor and environmental movements would produce the collective power needed to end that exploitation. We need an ecological proletariat.

RE: https://ecoevo.social/@benlockwood/115910904003144110
Brief Ecology is starting a new periodic newsletter called The Biodiversity Bulletin. In each one we’ll collect recent articles, studies, and perspectives in order to keep people informed on the ecological state of the planet. Climate change doesn’t get enough coverage, but our biodiversity crisis gets even less. We want to fix that. Check out the first bulletin 👇

We just had the third hottest year on record, wildfires are raging on multiple continents, and world war is brewing over Arctic territory. Climate change isn’t coming, it’s already here.

Organized economic disruption is the *only* way to stop this fascist, dictatorial regime. We don’t have the luxury of waiting for the next election. The stakes are too high, and too much hangs in the balance.

The press likes to make claims about their neutrality and objectivity, but legacy media is overwhelmingly owned by the billionaire class, and it relentlessly promotes their interests. I make no such claims about my own work. Brief Ecology is explicitly political, aligned in full opposition to billionaires and the ecological collapse they're responsible for.
