“[AP US] Article Title: California lawmakers to decide on extending key climate program and boosting grid reliability“ ….
It’s unwise to continue having every structure’s entire electricity supply relying on external power lines that are susceptible to being crippled by unforeseen events, in particular weather storms of unprecedented magnitude. Also, coronal mass ejections’ powerful EMF effects leave electrical grids vulnerable to potentially extensive damage and long-lasting power outages.
It seems logical that every structure should try independently harvesting solar energy, at least as an emergency power storage system. There already are fossil-fuel-powered generator systems that engage once the regular electric-grid flow gets cut off, so why not use clean solar energy instead of the very old school and carbon intensive means?
Meanwhile, here in the corpocratic West, if the universal availability of a renewable energy alternative would come at the expense of the traditional ‘energy’ production companies’ large profits, one can expect obstacles, including the political and regulatory sort. If something notably conflicts with corporate big-profit interests, even very progressive motions are greatly resisted, often enough successfully.
Carbon taxes, like the one here in Canada that’s being cancelled/dismantled, manage to induce shrill complaints — including those by corporatized mainstream media. Except for high-income earners, Canadians are/were more than reimbursed via federal government rebate, yet the whining persists.
And, especially here in the virtually corpocratic West, many drivers of superfluously huge and over-powered thus gas-guzzling vehicles, some even looking like they might get 25 gallons to the mile [sic], seem to consider it a basic human right, perhaps because it's an extension of their phallic ego. It may scare those drivers just to contemplate a world in which they can no longer readily fuel that extension, especially since much quieter electric cars are for them no substitute.
It all must be convenient for those interests — particularly when neoliberals and conservatives remain overly preoccupied with vocally criticizing one another for their relatively trivial politics and therefore divert attention away from some of the planet's greatest polluters and pollution, where it actually very-much should and needs to be sharply focused.
Worsening matters is the large and growing populace who are too overworked, underpaid, worried and rightfully angry about food and housing unaffordability for themselves or their family, to have the vital-energy left to criticize big industry for the environmental damage it causes/allows, especially when not immediately observable.
