Recently Elon Musk said developed economies should be producing as much oil, gas, and nuclear power as possible. Is it "hypocritical" for the EV king to promote fossil fuels and nuclear? No. In several previous posts, I wrote how the "electrical" everything economy needs the fossil fuel sector to run flat out. It needs more power and resources than the current system. That's why, in my view, it can't happen. Here's a link to the Old Post: https://mythmademan.blogspot.com/2019/11/electric-cars-20-kilowatt-lifestyle.html
I think there's more subtle and powerful reasons it can't happen.
I think the 10 kWatt lifestyle was feasible because enough people were sufficiently foolish to fall for all the scams that keep them working for the civilization machine, but they still had enough intelligence to make the civilization machine work. If people were wiser, they'd start abandoning the rat race and corporate treadmill, and energy use would decline. If they were stupider/less competent they couldn't keep the machine functioning.
The 20 kilowatt lifestyle is even more wasteful and can't happen because it requires everyone to be too retarded to function at the level required to run the economy flat out.
