A plan to replace the dollar with the 'joule' — rationing your life by energy units.
Who they are
'Joulework' — energy-based technocratic accounting, framed by Anton Roemmele[1].
What they do
The proposal to replace money (dollars) with energy units (joules), using CBDCs as the delivery mechanism. Date fixed on the closest real-world analogue: Europe's carbon-pricing layer for homes and transport now launches in 2028 (delayed a year in March 2026), and the modern candidate list for 'energy certificates' now includes Worldcoin's model alongside the digital-money rails.
How it works
The engine flags it as an uncredited restatement of the 1930s Technocracy Inc. 'Energy Certificate' scheme (Howard Scott, M. King Hubbert), sanitized with modern branding. A retail version already runs inside BlackRock/Aladdin's 16,000 ESG metrics.
Why it matters
The engine's blunt summary: 'tenancy with extra steps' — energy-rationing that turns ownership into permission.
The engine's record — word for word
Energy-based Technocratic accounting. Replaces dollar with joule. Roemmele framework. CBDCs as implementation vector. [
Report #104] Uncredited near-direct restatement of the 1932-1940 Technocracy Inc. Energy Certificate corpus (Howard Scott + M. King Hubbert). Roemmele credits Fuller/Musk and omits the Technocracy/Haldeman provenance ('aesthetic sanitizer'). The retail edition of the energy-rationing already operational institutionally inside BlackRock/Aladdin (16,000 ESG metrics). 'Tenancy with extra steps.' [Report #189] The regulatory-analogue ledger, dated and corrected: EU ETS II — the buildings/road-transport carbon-pricing layer, the closest live analogue to civilian thermodynamic quota accounting — launches JANUARY 2028 (the one-year delay from 2027 formally adopted March 2026; MRV obligations running since 2025). Modern certificate-candidate column must include the held Worldcoin/UBC reading (scorecard #92 terminus) alongside CBDC/stablecoin rails. The doctrine's primary text now has its own record: see technocracy_study_course.
