Many of the tax-optimizing schemes have exotic names, usually mixing humour and cynicism, such as the ‘Dutch Sandwich’ [to avoid EU withholding taxes on untaxed profits moved to non-EU tax havens], the ‘Double Irish’ [to avoid US corporate taxation on most non-US profits], /

McKibben in his latest book (2025). Then he goes on to explain degrowth cannot happen fast enough because people cannot change their lifestyles fast enough. He insists we must do solar and wind fast instead. Yeah, BUT we must also decrease the level of production and consumption (degrowth).

The connotation of deprivation attached to degrowth comes from capitalist propaganda. It should be resisted. Degrowth should be embraced openly, precisely because it is anticapitalist and because it is promoting prosperity.

When you switch from fossil to clean you only use like 30-40% of the energy to do the same stuff, bc most energy from fossil fuels is lost as waste heat

What's I'm trying to say is that all climate action is degrowth

WELCOME TO DEGROWTH EVERYONE

"Primary energy" = what goes in

"Final energy" = what comes out

The space in between: mostly lost energy bc burning fossil fuels is absurdly wasteful.

So in the net zero scenario, that gaps closes to zero --->>
