Freedom includes being able to make decisions independently of decisions being made elsewhere on the globe. This is a generalization from Postone -- so if you disagree you have to know Postone well enough to refute his argumentns. In capitalism as described by Postone, all economic activity on the globe is interlinked by internal relations. Hence no act _can_ be free.

So either Marx & Postone are wrong in their understanding of capitalism _or_ the precondition for _any rational _ energy "solution" is the abolition of commodity production.
