Europe is bracing for the worst energy crisis it has ever known. temperatures are already falling as winter approaches, while delivery of Russian natural gas, which last year provided 40% of Europe’s supplies, has been reduced to a trickle. Meanwhile, OPEC is cutting oil production, hydropower has been crippled by this summer’s drought, and renewable electricity is not fully in force.
I can't help but think, "what if capital had actually delivered on its promises of insulation and house efficiency in general?". Like... it actually is possible to need very little fuel to heat a living space but you've gotta design and build it thoughtfully.
