They have been saying, our governments that climate collapse is decades away, a hundred years, that we can "accommodate" climate changes.
Climate collapse is HERE NOW.
WE must Build All the Renewables Needed to make carbon fuels unneeded and redundant. Build enough solar and wind tio REPLACE ALL oil and gas, everywhere, every land, right now.
We must demand it now, force it if they do not begin.
My house generates more power, through solar, than it uses. That extra power is fed back into the grid, for other people to use. I don't make much from it, but that's OK, I'm powering one or two other houses, so they don't need to pull power from a gas or coal power plant. I can afford it.
But to get the utility company to allow me to do that, I had to justify the size of my solar installation. I waxed poetic about all the energy-hungry things I planned to do, so they would say yes.
great! Now we have to rep0licate that 300 million times in America alone, as if it were our only job.
As if it were our only job.
Past efforts are admirable, the job to do is within our capacity, but its ALL HANDS ON DECK
Installing solar and batteries on rooftops would more than meet the need for power generation, at their current levels of efficiency. All the pieces are there, we just need to will to do it.
