As an Engineer, widening your scope a little to include economics (Especially "Austrian economics") hopefully you will understand what I mean by "Kardashev Money", and my story of the Money-Fuel Tree.

Those change everything. The conventional estimates to date are based on the fossil fueled capital economy carrying on somehow (And our planet somehow continuing to endure the ever increasing burden of fossil fuel pollution).

But we can see all are in process of collapsing, exponentially.

Kardashev money is very simply what we need to move to, to change.

This isn't some idea of mine that I dreamed up, just something deduced from observation.

I don't see this as something that might happen, it is something that must happen. The only question is when.
