@kravietz If you really want to understand #RenewablesEnergy strategies, and the society-wide changes required to transition to a long-term sustainable energy system, I suggest digging into #AmoryLovins' work entitled #ReinventingFire

@yang why not invest in creating jobs in #RenewableEnergy technology like the #NZ government are? See #AmoryLovins work on #ReinventingFire:

There are newer, more efficient ways being trialled to harvest solar and wind energy. Geothermal can provide baseload energy as reliably as mined fuels (including nuclear), with no pollution created. Biomass, tidal/ wave, and others have #ProofOfConcept prototypes and need support to scale up. This is our energy future.
