The world is getting a reminder, once again, of the enormous economic and geopolitical risks associated with dependable on fossil fuels. And a reminder of the incredible independence that renewable energy provides from those risks.

@nuwagaba2 @petergleick Solar photovoltaics and wind. Is already happening. And batteries. All these are getting cheaper exponentially, following friendly learning curves.
Edit: note that photovoltaics + batteries also work off-grid, in small units.

And then, electrification. Electric cars and bikes for transport, heat pumps for space heating/cooling. Stop burning stuff.
