    So what is the downside of this? It seems like a net-positive. Decreased demand for fossil fuels is great! It’s a shame it took a bunch of death and destruction, but now that it has happened, the silver-lining is quite shiny.

      Decreased demand for fossil fuels means lower GDP. “The GDP of a nation is its fossil fuels usage” : Jancovici

      Energy use and economic output are interconnected. Wealthier countries typically have higher energy consumption per person, contributing to their higher GDP per capita.

        If only there were a way to generate near unlimited amounts of energy without fossil fuels.
