It turns out that the greatly underestimated downside of technological progress is a fractured world.
In France, we have a mania for meetings that start very early and finish very late. It wastes time and creates rigidity in schedules. Everyone knows I hate long meetings.
I realize that every time we discuss a job placement and look at a list of both male and female candidates, there's a question that comes up pretty much all the time for the woman: 'Will she know how to assert herself?' It's not meant to be malicious. It's more, 'Will she manage to take leadership of the team you want to entrust to her?'
Most of the energy consumed is for heating, cooling, and transport. By massively deploying green gas, we could decarbonize all that.
