Another fantastic post. I almost wanted to argue with you about your take on renewable energy, but as I continued reading, I realized you are correct.
It’s something I haven’t thought of before: that renewable energy will encourage more consumption, leaving our world with more CO2 emissions. How will we deal with that?
Also, how it will be, or has been (?), monopolized. (don’t ask me, I live in conservative-ass Florida, US. We believe only in guns and alligators.)
I appreciate that you offered an alternative—organizing within your community. It’s obviously not an end-all-be-all solution but, to me, it’s a great start.
I have the feeling that most of the solutions to our problems boil down to, how you very well put it, "organizing within your community." I also have the feeling--not in a conspiracy theory kind of way--that the erosion of communal spaces over the last 20 years isn't accidental. Keeping us siloed, separated, and polarized, is a very effective way of curtailing changes that threaten the status quo.
I really appreciate all your insights. Thanks for reading!
Love it!!!!!!
Thanks River! I’m really enjoying your posts too. Keep it up!
