    How does this fit in with that renewable energy ( wind and or sun is unreliable - can be non of both types or one type for days at a time AND solar is only available for a 4-6 hours a day ) ) ? It seems massive storage is needed.

    Sometimes I wonder if you can have a central planned economy without sacrificing the democratic process.

      EU comes close. There are a few programs that apply to all countries inside without really breaking the local government rules. (Although that's still typically incentives rather than forcing companies to do things)

      As opposed to capitalism? Capitalism is not significantly more democratic in my opinion.
