I've recently considered that any "green" initiative that inhibits the advancement of society is a bad idea. This includes taking resources, including human resources, away from otherwise productive work. If 200 years from now humans will be living on other planets, all electricity comes from the sun via panels or nuclear fusion, all travel is electric with near-zero emissions....
Then how in the hell does it matter? If we create the co2 and propel society forward, it was worth it. If we decide to limit growth by limiting access to energy, we're literally shooting ourselves in the foot.
