gollark: "Zero growth" bad, sustained economic growth necessary.
gollark: Globalisation good, complex global supply chains basically fine?
gollark: Hmm. Also, gradual phase out of road networks and replacement with trains etc. good.
gollark: Renewables are not energy dense, need vast amounts of batteries to be any good, and take tons of energy to produce in the first place.
gollark: Nationalised healthcare possibly not good?
