Aligning our organizations to planetary boundaries
summary
Argues that current sustainability/transition assumptions fail: energy mixes coexist, rebound effects erase efficiency gains, and economists’ offsetting of harms is invalid; MIT work shows current pace needs 363 years to fully transition and Caldeira’s estimate implies building one nuclear plant every three years to meet Paris goals. Proposes an ecological redirection method: audit innovations against planetary boundaries using earth‑system science and democratic climate protocols, plus an incubator for enforced renunciation and de‑incubation.
