6. I prefer we cease production of unnecessary items

And while the production created a "green" power infrastructure, it comes with substantial carbon debt and simply powers an unnecessary human activity.

We did not need to burn hydro-carbons to make the green infrastructure that is going to be used to wage resource wars. Simply ceasing the resource wars would eliminate the need for the production (and also limit the supply the fuels tangential production)
