Reply to comment by Tearakan in U.S. renewable electricity surpassed coal in 2022 by altmorty

We are close to the turning point. In a few years, new fossil-powered vehicle production will fall below old fossil vehicle retirement. That means the total fossil fleet will start shrinking.

It takes a while to ramp up production of new technology, but we are getting there.

Which would've worked had this happened a decade or two ago.

It's too late for this slow shit now. El nino is coming and it'll supercharge the warming in key agricultural regions. We already had issues with farming yields last year. Another bad year or worse and we will see wars popping up all across the planet. Especially in poorer nations.

Imagining an alternate past is a waste of time, unless you have a time machine. The future is all we can affect.
