Dennis Meadows on the myth of technology as the answer to any obstacle. From interview in 2022 with Juan Bordera. mronline.org/2022/08/10/fifty-years… En español […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

We have already discussed the widespread myth that technology will lead us to overcome any obstacle. We see it with the climate challenge: there is this thing called Carbon Capture and Sequestration. Despite the irrefutable fact that it is cheaper, quicker and easier to reduce energy consumption, the tendency is to look for the technological solution that will allow us to do what we can no longer do without causing serious damage. It is a total fantasy. The best we can say about CCS is that it is an idea that is going to make a few people a lot of money.
