The pro-palestine protests have been a beacon of light for me lately (and China doing forest restoration). What is keeping your hope alive?

Remember this is bloomer thread so try to keep the dark irony to a minimum

    Solar panels are getting so cheap that even capitalist countries will switch to green energy, and I’m pretty sure the Chinese government is doing this on purpose, so it will only accelerate.

      I had a frustrating conversation with my grandfather this week where he, a usually progressive guy, had a list of talking points about why green energy is bad that he picked up from the propane delivery guy 🙄

      When it’s dark solar panels don’t generate any energy and batteries are expensive/environmentally unfriendly

      What is even the point of bringing that up if you aren’t generating more than you use during daylight hours in the first place? When most of the demand is, mind?

      At least with him opinions are as easy to plant as they are to dislodge
