In 1976 the Lucas Plan from Lucas Aerospace was outlined by workers - a strategy to avoid job losses by transitioning to production of things useful to soceity. Some of those things were heat pumps, solar cell technology, wind turbines and fuel cell technology.
"The proposals were rejected out of hand by L.A. management"
Could have been a mini green new deal in 1976...

@neil @LeoSammallahti @Matt_Noyes @bhaugen There's a wonderful, ruminative (long) movie: The plan that came from the bottom, by Steve Sprung. Screened a year ago at ICA London

It's hard to find info on the movie and how to view it. This page is vacuous

I have email for Steve if you'd like to contact? Would be glad to know more myself, on availability. And success?
