Dear Martin,
It is good to bring up a discussion on energy.
Personally I would stress a lot more the need to reduce our dependency on
energy in general and not only from fossil fuels (very urgent) and use
renewables only to help us in that transition.
As you mention, it is also important to
I think if the title was Switch-off rather than Switch it would likely be
more on the right track as what we need is to power down and reduce energy
consumption in the first place. In my opinion this is the greatest challenge
andit is really not about a business as usual switch to re-newables.
I don't think that is permaculture that can lead to good or a bad decisions.
The concepts and principles are wise and I invite everybody to read and think
about them (they are all about living sustainably).
It is the specific practitioner that can decide to take specific decisions when
It is worrying to see the completely wrong perception some people have about
permaculture being confused with unrelated businesses or being assigned
charateristics that are opposite to its approaches.
Attacking
an entire applied discipline because annoyed by an advertisement is also
unfair.
The practices and style of a specific business endevour (trying to make money
out of a discipline) has nothing to do with the practices and style of the
discipline itself. Why do you keep mixing the two? You will not find in any
permaculture book instructions on how to advertise or charge for a

effects on soil, water, insects, birds, anphybians, humans and others.
Thank you!
