Central banks don't control everything, they administer monetary policy. Monetary policy is such an important part of the economy that you could say it's THE most important part since good policy with make a strong economy while bad policy will destroy it. They don't create debt the way people think, and they don't maintain the wealth of the elite. While it is theoretically possible for a free banking world to function better than central banks, no nation on the planet has ever come close to figuring out how. On the other hand, history is amply on the side of sound central banking. I guess people can say central banks are causing problems that wouldn't exist if they didn't exist, but there really isn't any evidence for that. Monetary policy is pretty complicated stuff that I can't say I understand enough to go much deeper, but be aware that an anti-central banking stance isn't a serious one without some hardcore academic explanations behind it


Ong, Iceland uses geothermal because it can. It's really cheap in certain places, but its production rate is naturally low and storage/transportation utility is expensive. There isn't some vast conspiracy here. If geothermal was what you said it was, Iceland would be exporting it like crazy and become the new Saudi Arabia. Even if governments dumped a trillion dollars into ramping up geothermal and hydroelectric and wind power and solar and literally everything, the costs to run a car on oil pulled out of the seabed would be far lower. Millions of people with a ton of brainpower have been working on these problems.
