Looks like someone is trying to paint five exceptional years for coal divestment followed by an okay one (coupled with record heat waves, drought and a re-opening economy) as an increase in coal.

Thanks for intervening here, this was not my intention, but you can absolutely read it this way. I kept it too short, basically I would argue that more relative expansion of green energy would be great. The strong coal foundation is a problem, yet Europe and US etc. are much more problematic.

The statistics show a path forward, thanks again. It would be great to talk more concretely about responsibility and actors to move further, which is not easy here. Building new wind parks etc. can be a hustle, I learnt.

Interesting, and apparently it's called Voyager now. Merci

I will have to google a few things here but that sounds next level. But quite fittingly, I will connect a Pi soon, running Mastodon as a test

To add a little bit of solarpunk to this: I'm charging my battery stack via solar power with a dedicated USB c in/out slot. It is smart connector indeed.

Haha, great response, I somehow knew that you were exactly on that line of thought. Preach

There is a nice book on this topic, Against Purity:

Why contamination and compromise might be a starting point for doing something, instead of a reason to give up.

But the last comment on the global south is odd, for many reasons. Empathy and support was on your mind, I suppose. 🤓

Informative and unfortunate. Economic growth is the single goal of the CPV and guarantees its power. Climate and ecological claims endanger the social order, so 👨‍⚖️

That’s a (probably foolish) dream that could be compatible with exponential growth beyond what is available on Earth.

Sounds like a Solarpunk novel to be written. Let's put all incineration activities away. Yet, space colonization is here and serves capital accumulation, first and foremost. There's also the tiny part where rockets have to be shot to outer space with a little bit of energy and waste heat.
