I am always looking for good news but frankly, it is hard to find. I did see that Norway (population 5.5 million) is seeing 80% of all new car sales as electric or electric/hybrid, but unfortunately that is only a drop in a rather large bucket of humanity. Today there was an article that says the Middle East is now putting out as much greenhouse gas as all of the EU and ended with “scientists are warning of possible mass migrations from countries in the Middle East as water gets more scarce and temperatures rise”. So, not such great news.
Plus, we are now seeing potentially severe power shortages, pretty much Worldwide and the response is to ramp up coal since that is the most accessible source (China’s use of coal will not peak until 2030+ and India is going to increase coal use by another 30% in the next few years). Even with an aggressive ramp of renewables, CO2 emissions will more than likely continue to increase over the next 10 yrs.
So, bad news bear that I am, things don’t look very positive and I am just hopeful I can get the farm project up and running (target move in 2025) before things go too far downhill.
