@Ulzana @MiriShuli @Niall @chu migrating off fossil fuels is important, but it can't be done overnight When the fossil fuels become unaffordable by many, you can't use that as an opportunity to stop production of fossil fuels, at their expense You have to work on expanding green and nuclear energy production. And Biden's admin did that too 2 comments
@EyalL @Ulzana @MiriShuli @Niall @chu You're actually going to need a lot of fossil fuels to do the switching, too. Building out solar and wind, installing transmission lines, all that stuff is currently fossil fuel powered. We need to bootstrap it onto renewable ASAP. Need to be able to make batteries and solar panels using batteries and solar panels to run the process, first of all. Then you can figure out all the motive power for installing stuff. |

@EyalL @Ulzana @MiriShuli @Niall @chu But permits for oil production issued today wonβt produce anything for a decade or more. By which time, if we are still using that much oil or gas, humanity is in deep trouble.
Every dollar spent on new oil infrastructure is a pound which could have been better spent on green technologies.
