(renewable energy isn't the whole answer but it is a radical redistribution of power distribution and that's an earthquake they can't stop)
@susankayequinn That looks from the typeface like a graph from The Economist magazine. And that pleases me, it's like the proverbial opera singer"s aria saying it's all over except the spin.

@susankayequinn Oil is still the fuel of war, and the faster we get off it, the less bound we are to the causes of war.

@jmeowmeow it's heavily ironic that Trump is enacting the subplot but for completely different reasons

every time I see this graph
it reminds me that the status quo thinkers and talkers and powers are an oil slick in our minds
telling us things can never change
what they really mean: STOP THE CHANGE

#SolarIsRadical@susankayequinn I find think tanks are stacked with neoliberal, right wing propagandists. I don't think I've ever seen or even heard of a decent think tank.
On the other hand, they now have Trump at the helm, so this may plateau it out, for a couple of years. Depending on the impact of the US on this R&D area.

#SolarIsRadical@susankayequinn thanks for my daily required dose of hope when facing the inept and corrupt governance of our lives.

@billmckibben.bsky.social@susankayequinn I guess some of it, at a certain time of the day, probably travels through the Strait of Hormuz. But not enough to matter.

@Harald_Korneliussen haha true, but the only people who care about the photons traveling through the Strait of Hormuz are the plants/animals/beings in the Strait of Hormuz
and that's the kind of radical groundedness that can change the world

@billmckibben.bsky.social@susankayequinn because there is no option other than oil or gas… https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn877d27gndo
Curiously all those rural homes that are not, and never will be, on the gas network do have electricity.

@Wifiwits @susankayequinn Not mention they have roofs and, in many cases, a spot of land around them that could host a PV panel or 7.
Imagine the effect turning on the money tap or shaking a few leaves from the magic money tree would have in bringing energy independence to people living in rural areas.

@susankayequinn @brad I do understand the capital outlay is too much for many, but there are creative ways around that.

#SolarIsRadical@susankayequinn Hi there ! Solar looks clean and perfect here in Europe. If you look at the poor workers in China working in the factories that produce those panels (with coal energy coming from south America)... stop pollution globally and stop thinking we are doing a good job promoting solar energy and electrical cars here. Rivers turn green in China, air is polluted for our "green" energy here. Are we human or what ? @bart
