We’re demanding a world that is 100% powered by renewable energy. That means a rapid end to all coal, oil, and gas, to tackle global injustice as we end pollution and climate chaos. WIth us? Add your name.
When I see, and feel immediately support, for these I remind myself that I’m a relatively well off tech guy that works remote. My largest use of fuel for travel is for vacation / fun and cost of food and heat and etc is of course a large line item but I really could deal with a large increase. I’m very fortunate.
But what happens to everybody else when this happens. How do we make this form of transition without seriously impacting a LOT of people. And yes, I intellectually know that impact will happen from climate change. But people direct anger at people for individual policies and not, as much, because there was a big storm, or a doubt, or other “natural” event.
So how can these aggressive ideas really get going unless paired with serious societal changes like UBI and/or (big) subsidies for EVs and/or mandated charging stations and/or… ?
