All energy options need to be considered. Including under-planeting production with carbon sequestration. The key to beginning the energy solution is remedying both the present monetary distribution paradigm and hence the economic paradigm as well. Every progressive minded economist including Dr. Keen suggest policies that ryhme with Monetary Gifting (Debt Jubilee, UBI, government deficits, etc.) and these are all good policies.

However, none of them approach the universally participated in, macro-economic and continual effect that a 50% Discount/Rebate at the various points of retail sale throughout the economy would have, and that would simultaneously resolve the austerity, inflationary, indirectness, and confusion about “debt” economic problems…and serendipitously even the psycho-social malaise problem of modernity.

If we want paradigm change we have to analyze the economy conceptually/philosophically because applied concepts…are what paradigms are, and finding the most efficacious way to express and apply that new concept is what creates the “magic” of the paradigm change phenomenon.

So lets put the horse/conceptual analysis in front of the cart/systemic analysis and proceed with post haste.
