I wasn't aware just how good the news is on the green energy front until reading this. We still have a tough road in the short/medium term, but we are more or less irreversibly headed in the right direction.

Nah. We won't make it unless a lot of people start to be cool with cutting back a lot. Plane rides, cars, meat consumption, the list goes on. And that just ain't happening. Also fascism is on the rise.

  • don’t cut back on planes, increase intercity train use
  • don’t cut back on cars, create more walkability and transit
  • dont cut back on meat, try this fantastic new meal that happens to not include meat, or fine: just one less day of red meat every week
  • don’t try to avoid facism, stand on your constitutional rights (for us). There’s more to that doc than the second amendment

I don't agree with you, but also if I did, what then? If we don't believe it's possible for things to get better do we just lay down and die?
