Given that it is impossible to put all the market traders on mood stabilising drugs, the only possibility is reality therapy. Economics has to be seen, not as the resultant of summated market sentiment, but as the way we humans create a stable way of living in a real, fragile and finite natural world.

Energy is the key, given that it is the engine of the modern world economy. It is beyond reasonable doubt that we need to make the transition from fossil fuel capital to the energy income that comes to us from the sun.

Realising this supergrid will deliver a massive stimulus to the world economy that is needed to power us out of this recession.
