[Tree] The debate over economic growth and degrowth, resource depletion, energy consumption, overcapacity in the global diffusion of green technology
Version 0.19 (2024-08-04 23:03:49.558000)
updates: The article 'The Overcapacity Chimera: A Boon to the Global Diffusion of Green Tech' discusses the concept of overcapacity in the context of the global diffusion of green technology. It argues that overcapacity, often seen as a negative phenomenon, can actually be beneficial for the spread of green technology. The author explains that overcapacity occurs when there is excess production capacity in a particular industry, leading to lower prices and increased competition. This can drive innovation and make green technology more affordable and accessible. The article provides examples of how overcapacity has contributed to the diffusion of solar panels and electric vehicles. It also highlights the role of government policies in promoting overcapacity and supporting the growth of green industries. The author concludes that overcapacity should be seen as an opportunity rather than a problem, and calls for policymakers to embrace it as a strategy for accelerating the global transition to a greener economy.

Oreskes highlights numerous studies that have refuted the claim that environmental regulations hinder economic growth and job creation. She emphasizes that environmentally destructive jobs are often short-lived, while environmental restoration projects create long-term employment opportunities. Oreskes also points out the positive effects of environmental protection on public health and well-being. She urges people to reject the false dichotomy between the economy and the environment, emphasizing that both can thrive together.
