Manufacturing mayhem

How we adapt to climate change is the future we build together and hopefully want.
What's the point of adapting if the adaptation produces more problems?
Even sustainable adaptation could create more problems...but, presumably a lot less than unsustainable adaptation.
Green steel, for example! Essential for biochar apptech. The 'Green' bit is referring to 'Green Hydrogen' iron ore reduction (and possibly electrified logistics) - but presumably not the mining aspect, or the additional minerals added, many imported, for the final steel products.
A Carbon negative technology future mined, grown, made and affordable in Australia (and elsewhere too).
A sustainable manufacturing base?
Sausage factory or artisanal or both (reality)?
How can Oz build a more Sovereign manufacturing base without pissing off China or the USA too much (however much that is)?
Maybe the Oz Gov should prioritize the people over the war machine first (opportunity cost) BUT keep the war machine iron in the fire with planning for scaleability if needed...rat fish hardware (with no guarantee of a software bug free 'user experience' though armed AI is probably best left for e-sports), for example.
Some apptech could be considered as greentech but not all greentech is apptech!
Neither greentech nor apptech is necessarily Carbon negative tech.

Carbon negative tech, which could be either greentech or apptech or both is the helper.
The key to 'open source' greentech/apptech/C negative tech (which aren't necessarily the same thing), is baking in an invisible mainframe (eg.flame cap, TLUD), which will vary from one tech to the next, based on science. Then the tech, based on the mainframe, can be built just about anywhere where appropriate tools and materials are available.
We need to align our survival needs with other species survival needs.

Globalisation is now King.
However, it's probably the end of reliable and predictable Globalisation from above.
Global supply chains are the new norm for most manufacturing which could be a problem for many Countries if unknown unknowns tip the apple cart.

Trump and his tariffs are shifting shape on a regular basis and could tip the apple cart.  

Free trade is a list of trade exemptions.
Trade is diplomacy and war!
But, trade is now mostly done with any Country and any Corporation on the Planet.
Consumers win until they lose.
I am a consumer and a TLUD R&Der in my semi-retired operation.
I want to win but there are only numbers and people to guide me with no clear outcomes and an insatiable demand worldwide for TLUDs that I will never meet BUT it's not a solo effort - there's room for everyone in the biochar tent.
Unlimited jobs for climate.
