I love seeing a positive story in this community (it’s so rare)! There were lots of positive items sprinkled throughout. Well worth a full read.
I’ll give you a teaser graph instead of an excerpt:
This is growth not total generation.
Yes but look at that exponential curve. Donny can’t stop it, even if he’s going to destroy the US economy and future stability to die trying.
Trumps bullshit is probably increasing adoption everywhere except the US. It makes financial sense to move away from fossil fuels. Making the markets unstable is another signal for why it makes sense.
The collapse of the petrodollar is going to be ugly for the US. I hope the rest of the world rides it out well enough, and indeed is motivated by the current goings-on to accelerate all of their climate adaptation economic growth.
I’m very curious to see if future studies explore whether Trump’s reign of terror may have perversely had a net positive effect on the global climate.
Crashing the American economy would have at least a short term positive impact. From there it shouldn’t take much to tip the cost efficiency so far in the favor of clean energy that it cannot be ignored during the recovery.
