Energy efficiency and renewable energy production,'closing the loop' is the name of the game. Hydrocarbon fuel economy is holding on, the nuclear sect too. What does a new economy look like? Small scale energy systems implemented on home or neighborhood scale. Create water abundance and healthy soils. Windmills, hydro wheels, and solar cells. Just slowing down development policy would reduce the stress a lot. A healthy community has healthy soils, and healthy water. This creates healthy people, happy people who are living consciously because they are playing an active role in their life.  These healthy people create a healthy economy which exists to sustain the local economy, not overproduction and depletion of natural resources, but creation and encouragement of healthy local ecosystems- full circle, closing the loop.
