Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Sadly, even Dave Roberts is simply wrong about point three. Ramping up renewables drastically can well be done, though that of course is only one part of the problem.

Let's also not forget that in this very Salon, are the first reports of an increase in strokes within hours of higher levels of PM2.5s.

Connection?

I don't think he's simply wrong to say we need to use less energy. Which connects with air pollution too.

I was only referring to point three. for the record, in my circle of advocates going back to the mid-70s, energy efficiency (negawatts) was always choice number one. that hasn't changed.

but the renewable industries have already proven that the scale up of the necessary supply chain is not only doable, it's been done. and it's critical for people with as much influence as him to understand that.

(so why don't you send him an email? hey CH, sometimes you show evidence of functioning.)
