We have to act now if we don’t want the future our machines are imagining for us.
It's kind of extraordinary to think we'll probably live to see the arrival of free, abundant electricity. One can only hope that someone's attempting to invent artificial replacements for natural minerals necessary for batteries. As such a revolution can NOT once again come at the expense of Africa.
The race is about who moves faster towards renewables ⚡️⚡️

„The world is no longer heading toward the worst-case outcome of 4C to 6C warming by 2100. Current policies put us on a best-estimate of around 2.6C warming. At the same time, a world of 2.6C by 2100 is still a giant mess to leave to the future.“ www.theclimatebrink.com/p/emissions-...

This is Schrödinger’s Road Space By Taking Away Space From Cars You Are Giving Them More Space At The Same Time. BUT in the process Leaving Even More Urban Space For …Housing, Parks 🌳, Plazas & Much More 🚲
“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in Copenhagen🇩🇰?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it?’ 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure..bicycling.”~ Morten Kabell
Asia is having its own version of the 1970s oil crises, with four-day weeks, power cuts, and flight cancellations. Sales of electric cars, scooters, and (in China) even trucks are booming. You can shred any demand forecasts that don’t factor that in: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
