Jeremy Rifkin on global issues, a must see take on our energy crisis.
A few years ago, solar energy was all the hype. I remember quite well how anyone was excited about being able to create their own energy and sell their unused energy back to the grid.
That enthusiasm may have peeked too early, since it was still too expensive too incorporate solar panels onto a building. If you watch this video tho, you might be willing to start incorporating solar right away. If you ask me, the one thing missing is an affordable segment of solar panels.
Right now you can buy solar panels to charge your gadgets or you can get a professional setup installed on your roof. Nothing in between as far as I can see. Solar needs the hype that 3D-printers have, which are getting cheaper and cheaper every day.
I just wanted too share this video with everyone, since I truly believe this is a big part of the solution. Another part of the solution, eating less meat, is probably the easiest to achieve but also one of the least populair. Cars with electric motors are being rolled out as we speak and practically everyone wants one, but can’t afford it. Everyone can afford eating less meat but most won’t even try.
I’m definitely not a vegetarian and I don’t want to sound all preachy but I do not understand that the easiest solution isn’t being shared and tried. If you ask me how to solve a growing debt and energy crisis, you would get a short response: start with taxing meat.
Sure everyone should be able to eat meat every once in a while, but we also would like our children to survive the coming decades.
