About this ebook
This comprehensive report—at once analytical, philosophical, political, and an accessible, heartfelt call to action—maps an alternative to the scores of energy transition plans drunk on illusory ‘tweakerism’ and political correctness. Grounded in sober ecology and metaphysics, it outlines what would actually be required to wean society off fossil fuels, avert catastrophic collapse, and claim a sustainable path worthy of dignified human beings. Containing an extensive yet concise exploration of the problématique (why the Green New Deal is flawed and what a genuine one would look like) followed by detailed policy recommendations and fiscal proposals, this is both a roadmap for governments and a valuable resource for anyone interested in energy and building the New World.
Unlike other commentary on this topic, The PallasCeres Report is not a Marxist critique, whereby socialist techno-industrial society is presumed to be more sustainable than capitalist techno-industrial society. It does not outline the litany of problems with “renewables” only to conclude that they’re still better than fossil fuels. It is not a vague call for ‘degrowth’ accompanied by a ‘circular economy.’ Nor does it champion empty rhetoric about ‘free energy’ that would simply continue to power our destructive system. It is a giant leap outside the box, detailing why soulless modern civilization is unsustainable and how an entirely new way of being can be born at this pivotal time.
About the author
Megan K. Seibert founded The REAL Green New Deal Project in response to the alarmingly misguided rhetoric about climate change and renewable energy coming from all corners of society–the “left,” the “right,” and everywhere in between.
Her own transformative life path has mirrored that which humanity faces during this prophetic time. She’s worked in the defense sector and has also done conventional environmental work along with horse packing in the wildernesses of Montana and Wyoming. She has an M.S. in Systems Science/Environmental Management from Portland State University and an international studies B.S. with core STEM from the U.S. Air Force Academy.
A regular yoga practice that began out of college, later catalyzed by exposure to Eastern philosophies in graduate school, led her into the world of shamanism, animism, astrology, channeling, and teacher plants. After a decade-long journey of truth seeking that culminated in a spiritual awakening, she’s stepped into an entirely new way of being, having come to see this as a profound period of revelation, choice-making, and metamorphosis.
