The World's Transition to Renewable Energies

[Leonardo17]

If you have Amazon Prime there is a nice series called “The Man in the High Castle” (2015-2019). It’s about a movement of resistance in an alternate universe in which Japan and Nazi Germany were the victors of WWII and ended up dividing the US among themselves. There are very interesting scientific features in the series as well: Like all aviation is now supersonic, in the 1960’s (as a result of Nazi technology), high speed trains with rocket propulsion are everywhere (another result of Nazi science), Berlin has been turned into a science-fiction megacity with grandiose architecture, Huge alleys and enormous massive scale buildings that look like Coruscant in the Star wars series. And Hitler was even planning to build a huge water damn on the Strait of Gibraltar to provide power to all of Europe.

 

    So I am thinking, if we had something other that our current market driven economy model, we would perhaps already be acting to avert the catastrophe lying ahead of us. Technically many say that 1.5 is already dead and that we need huge efforts even to limit global temperature rise to something below 2 degrees.

   Trumps ideas on the Gaza strip leads me to even more pessimism than that. What’s difficult to understand is how he seems to have given up all prospects of global and collective actions and instead of that he simply endorses The Rule of the Strongest.  

 

    Again: I still expect even more right wing people to be more lucid on these issues (I’m not talking about brainwashes populist masses, I mean the typical conservative or liberal minded people all around the world)
