Optimism, hope, courage for climate action needed more than ever.

Pessimists sound clever.
Optimists change the world.
I love this depiction of the energy transition by RMI.

In 2022, global fossil fuel subsidies were $7 trillion or the equivalent of 7.1% of global gross domestic product (GDP).
We effectively PAY oil and gas companies $7trillion every year to create this kind of damage and suffering ....but we can't afford to reduce emissions? ๐ง

They're cheap, don't pollute much, and great for farm work.

"The right tool for the job..." isn't always a big-ass honking pick-up.
Picking up groceries with an F-150 is like...
Cracking nuts with a sledgehammer
or Making toast with a flamethrower.
6 out of 10 trips are under 5 miles; usually a smaller vehicle will do...

Here is a bike lane, fall trees, e-bike, and turkey dinner for 18 people.
Whatโs not here is a 6,000lb SUV to pickup 25lbs of food supplies.
Iโm thankful for the leadership of ppl before me that helped build the foundations of a compact, bikeable city that we all get to enjoy ๐๐ฝ
