The concept of self-sufficiency will doom us all. It's part of the individualist approach to solving climate problems that I was talking about. It's not even possible anyway.

But those projects are not happening on a scale quick enough to fight climate change so individuals doing what they can is important.

Only because there isn't enough public will to force the issue. The best thing individuals can do is support politicians and policies in favor of cleaner energy production and environmental protection.

We must all hang together, or we shall all hang separately.
