Why would anyone waste their money on a AU$1.3M castle in France when you can secure your financial future in Mount Druitt?

House price growth vs population growth - can you find any correlation here at all?

A couple of wind turbines is nothing compared to the yearly damage to oil infrastructure.
“In 2005, hurricanes Katrina and Rita disrupted 5.6 million barrels per day (bpd) of U.S. refining capacity, swamping plants in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Some outages continued for over a year to repair damage. The peak outage was equal to 33% of national capacity of 17.1 million bpd in 2005”

Ember's oldest electric buses that run from Dundee to Edinburgh have clocked up >620,000km each, in a very harsh duty cycle (24hr operation, always rapid charged) and still have circa 88% of their original range per charge. 2)

The world is just beginning to see solar’s potential.
A lot of people didn’t see coal coming when it was mined by hand and carted by horses.
The supply chain for solar is already mostly powered by electricity. That electricity is increasingly coming from solar.
Cheap solar makes silicon, aluminum, and glass cheaper, which in turn makes solar cheaper.
Solar electricity makes battery production cheaper, which lets solar serve a larger portion of electricity demand.
Solar is a complete paradigm shift.
Slowly, then all at once.
The turning point in the Industrial Revolution was not when we started mining coal. It's when we started mining coal - with coal.
Carting coal with horses wasn't a huge leap forward from carting wood. Coal-powered railways and coal-powered mining created the feedback loop that transformed the nature of industry.
Similarly, solar's true potential is not unlocked manufacturing solar panels with fossil fuels.
It's unlocked manufacturing solar - with solar.
Fossil fuels are a step in the boot sequence - as human labor and wood were for coal. They are neither necessary nor optimal for large scale manufacturing.
The materials for solar panels are ubiquitous. Silicon makes up 28% of Earth's crust. Solar really gets cheap when we minimize energy and logistics costs. That means producing panels with solar energy, where solar is strongest & installing them locally.
Electrification of the solar supply chain creates the feedback loop that leads to Type 1 Civilization.

Happy Friday to all the reply guys saying how renewables are a terrible idea.
I hate to break it to you but >80% of new generation capacity built is now renewable energy, mainly solar and wind.
See the trend? Coal (black) and fossil gas (grey) getting squeezed more and more.

Can we intentionally cool the earth? And should we?
Luke Iseman of @MakeSunsets says “we’ve done such a poor job at Geo engineering our climate w/ carbon emissions for the last several hundred years, that we now need to geoengineer it in a positive direction to offset that.”
