Appreciate your views on moderation, partisanship, optimism, small movements, etc.
We would hold out, however, for solutions that create side-benefits rather than require trade-offs. As in regenerative agriculture where the win-win-win comes from nature's support; and in regenerative medicine where reversing one disease creates a well body that can also heal another.
About energy. Given that wealthy countries have high rates of both energy use and chronic disease, and that chronic disease comes largely from the way we live (and consume energy), is it necessarily true that "... using less energy is not an option"? As Americans lean further into reversing chronic disease with lifestyle medicine, what might happen, eventually, to our energy consumption patterns? What will happen to our sprawling medical complexes, to energy-thirsty food production and transport, to consumers rejecting goods that make us sick in favor of those that make us well?
Applying regenerative methods in agriculture and medicine are great reasons to be optimistic, and one of those reasons is that a significant shift in lifestyle patterns could eventually lower energy use.
