The sun is shining, the wind is blowing a gale, and just 2.4% of British electricity is coming from fossil fuels. See the live data at https://grid.iamkate.com.

"Because these corporations have no real interest in the First Amendment, in journalism, in an informed public, they have an interest in keeping their stock prices high, they do the math.... They are not going to stand up if the price to be paid is some kind of reduction in their quarterly earnings."

@maxleibman well I can’t argue with that.

Global oil consumption dropped at he 1973 and 1979 oil shocks as ppl reduced dependence. Had the trajectory of use in millions of barrels/day not been affected it would have gone frpm30 in 1965 to 110 in 1982. Instead it only got to 55. Today's oil shock means an severe reduction in oil dependence, and enormous increase in renewables. Saudi Arabia was one of the early adopters seeing the end coming. China and Spain have enormous solar footprints. #renewables #solar

In my latest for @TheHubCanada, I estimate the costs for gasoline, energy, and (just as importantly!) all other goods and services throughout the supply chain. Overall, about $1,000/yr/household.
