@benroyce@mastodon.social I am hopeful that many nations which have traditionally depended on fossil fuel imports are seeing the strategic flaws in those imports. Solar, wind, and tidal energy sources keep producing after being installed even if your source of new equipment is disrupted, fossil fuels don't. The combined environmental, economic, and strategic arguments for green energy make it the only way forward. The quicker world leaders wake up, the better off we will all be.

@benroyce@mastodon.social I'm old enough to remember the oil crisis in the US back in 1973 (and '79, the internet reminds me). If our gov't (and everyone else's) had gotten its act together and made the shift back then (because this will have to be a national project to actually work), or at least started to, how different the world would be now. *sigh*
