Excellent summary of the profound social and financial costs of #FossilFuels
In a sensible world, democratic nations would make #GreenEnergy a national security issue. Invest in solar, wind and tidal manufacturing and power storage. Over build green energy sources and drive down the price of energy, while freeing themselves from fossil fuel blackmail. If only...
Imagine an economy where massive amounts of solar, wind and tidal power were provided by the government:
- free to households (via progressive tax)
- free to small businesses, nonprofits and start ups
- inexpensive to companies
Imagine the boom in production, automation and electrification. Imagine the ability to spend on other items and freedom from petrostate politics. Imagine the climate benefits.
I'd like to live there.
