<p>> <i>The entire sexual revolution went out the window and we're now in a world where young people have a lot less sex than ever before.</i><p>Source?<p>Not withstanding that people are not willing to make sacrifices, my impression is that the last decades young women gained the freedom of enjoying sex as much as they like not restricted by religious or other norms. Sleeping with several different partners a week is not frowned upon but encouraged by friends & family ’<i>Good for you, enjoy!</i>’.<p>And related to the discussion: <i>safe</i> sex with contraception imho is among the most environmental friendly activities as long as one travels by foot or bike.</p>

<p>I respectfully disagree. The main argument that is completely ignored and not reacted to “humans <i>can</i> adapt, they behave different in different circumstances, eg. wear thicker coats in northern Sweden than in the southern areas”. Our huge brains allow for creative solutions to changing circumstances, also bakers and other workers can adapt. If they don’t for political reasons, then societies die or diminish.<p>> <i>Market prices in the electricity grid do not work to incentivized lower consumption, and the latest few energy crisis in EU has demonstrated that clearly.</i><p>The prices haven’t changed much, less than factor 2. Far too little to see any change in consumption indeed. If bread is too expensive to produce during some periods switch to <i>Knäckebröd</i> or <i>Müsli</i> products that, now I think of it, are Swedish probably for the reason that they can be stored for prolonged periods and replace bread when that is unavailable in harsh wintertimes.<p>> <i>right now Hydro energy is being primarily sold off by private actors</i><p>It happens all over the world, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons</a> is an alternative that historically has been successful.</p>

<p>Both users <i>and companies</i> could be incentivized to lower their consumption of electricity by increasing the price astronomical during periods of scarcity. A minimum of 1 Ampere per household without surcharge and beyond that enough to pay off the infrastructure. Taking a sauna or charging your car during peak times would costs, let’s say, €500. Assuming that in the north of Sweden there is ample Hydro energy, in the north the surcharge would be lower than in the south.<p>I strongly believe people and organizations would accommodate, just like during winter times in the north of Sweden one wears a different coat than in the south. But with the current system one isn’t incentivized to adapt power consumption to cost and hence more & more costs are made to build power lines from the north to feed the south of Sweden. And the same for standby fossil fuel plants.<p>Also <i>prepaid</i> electricity bills with automatic cutoff when exceeding, remaining 1 Ampere. Similar to the days when homes/tents would be heated by burning wood, during summertime one needs to collect enough firewood for the whole winter. Different times but in concept nothing new.</p>
