As the meme here suggests, renewable energy and electric transportation are making headway. Unfortunately:
• Our overall demands for energy are also increasing, especially as Asians want to live more like westerners.
• The developing world does not have the financial resources to jump ahead from fossil fuels to solar, wind, and nuclear in their electricity generation plants.
• Rich nations are showing tepid interest in making sacrifices to decarbonize the world’s grid-mix. The political will just doesn’t seem to exist at this point.
One wonders if some event, or series of events will take place, serving to catalyze planetary interest in averting climate catastrophe.
One might think that this level of idiocy and incompetence would detract from the appeal of the GOP, but Trump supporters don’t seem to mind.
At left we see the cause of Trump’s imminent demise.
We’re OK on the lies and crimes, but we’re not OK on high prices, and though we’re dumb, we’re not dumb enough to believe that prices were higher under Biden.
Btw, people commonly refer to this as “Obama’s deal,” but several other countries were party to it.
It’s a tragedy that this didn’t happen in 2015 when Trump entered the political scene.
