To facilitate equilibrium between man and nature, Technocracy proposed that citizens would receive Energy Certificates in order to operate the economy:
Energy Certificates are issued individually to every adult of the entire population& The record of one s income and its rate of expenditure is kept by the Distribution Sequence, so that it is a simple matter at any time for the Distribution Sequence to ascertain the state of a given customer s balance& When making purchases of either goods or services an individual surrenders the Energy Certificates properly identified and signed.
The significance of this, from the point of view of knowledge of what is going on in the social system, and of social control, can best be appreciated when one surveys the whole system in perspective. First, one single organization is manning and operating the whole social mechanism. The same organization not only produces but also distributes all goods and services. [Technocracy Study Course, Hubbert & Scott, p. 238-239]
If you study the card above, you will note that contains a microchip as it serves as a universal identity card. This reflects Technocracy’s philosophy that each person in society must be meticulously monitored and accounted for in order to track what they consume in terms of energy, and also what they contribute to the manufacturing process.
Personal carbon rationing would be a UK-wide allowance system covering the carbon emissions generated from the fossil fuel energy used by individuals within the home and for personal transport, including carbon equivalent emissions from air travel. It would account for around half of current UK carbon emissions from energy. The primary aim of the scheme would be to deliver guaranteed levels of carbon savings in successive years in an equitable way. The government’s current target of a 60% reduction by 2050, or more stringent targets, would assuredly be met in this way.
