How to transition to a clean energy future

The best bridge is efficiency and conservation.  We can save 5 times as much as we 'need to create' simply by putting people to work making efficient appliances, redoing our idiotic grid, decentralizing systems, doubling CAFE standards, insulating houses, building smaller, efficient structures instead of these massive glass behemoths...turn off the lights visible from the moon...install pv panels on every roof that has a solar exposure, micro hydro which does not interrupt spawning or flow of rivers, geo thermal, tidal, wind...we have a wonderful opportunity to accomplish these things now, we have the workforce idle and raring to go...we have unused manufacturing capacity...we need to return to the optimistic "can do" spirit instead of the doom and gloom we've been hearing.  Instead we have conservative morons and liberal pussies in Congress...which gives us a representative government of moronic pussies...time to get off of our asses and get something done.  


Or perish.

Paradoxically, the shut-down of the AMOC and the resulting cooling of Europe will be the best proof of global warming.

As TS Eliot said in The Hollow Men,  "  This is the way the world ends     Not with a bang but a whimper" We know not what changes...
