Restricting supply at the producer level tends to drive consumers to right wing populism.

I tend to favor ways to reduce reduce carbon footprint from the consumption side. Things like encouraging home solar, public transit and planning that creates less sprawl.

Lots of other people try to constrict consumption at the production level. Things like regulating the businesses that produce the products such as housing and gasoline.

Problem is, when supply is tight, it tends to drive grassroots populism to the right, rather than to the left.

I would think that, in an ideal world, limited supply would push people toward progressive innovations such as alternative energy and alternative lifestyles, but it seems like the opposite is the case. In much of the world, populism tends to double down on the things people feel that they need to live in today's world. Frustration and lack of a big picture perspective often pushes people to the right.

Pendulums do swing so after a turn to the right, sometimes right wing leaders get into trouble after they become incumbents. Frustrated people turn on incumbents. Looks like Trump is now dropping in the polls.
