Will have this in my reading list, I need to study a lot and read more on this issue!

Sustainability is still sometimes presented as a left-wing cause.

I never really understand this because many right-wing has interests in homesteading and self-sufficiency which actually is a part of living a sustainable life and supporting sustainability. But I do understand when viewed through political framework and the global institution that are involved, that is another story.

Also, I actually work in this exact sector now, and I find these kinds of visions both fascinating and frustrating. A lot of what is being discussed, and even implemented elsewhere, looks great. But over here in Indonesia, much of it still exists as pretty decks, ambitious policy documents, and polished presentations of what sustainability is supposed to look like.

From what I've seen in the trenches, the reality is far messier. The permitting process alone, man. You'd be surprised how much bureaucracy, political interference, and questionable human behavior can stand between a perfectly reasonable idea and its actual implementation 🤣

To be fair, the biggest obstacle to this transition isn't just the technology. It's governance and the people involved (at least 'round here).
