Why is the world in crises and what can we do about it? Easy - human ego, the sense of separateness leading to fear & resentment. Not knowing that you are not your thoughts, feelings and past conditioning, but that your true self is one with all existence. That is good enough for anybody. So, what can we do about it? Mass education program in school and in media to bring people to this knowledge so they stop causing problems for themselves and others.

it's a deep psychophysiological blockage - our original human culture, the San Bushmen, from 170,000 years ago, required all males to do Tshoma training in spiritual healing to increase N/om as female healing energy. We have no idea what we are missing as modern humans. The San Bushmen are still around - you can see interviews with their female spiritual healers on the Brad Keeney Center youtube channel.

Thanks Rachel for all your good work! You really have your heart in the right place.

I wonder how many people that castigate the fossil fuel companies, drive petrol or diesel vehicles, take vacations that use airplanes, fly to COP meetings either as an attendee or as an journalist, the list is unfortunately endless. Even using digital media uses fossil fuels, if you go as far back as to the mined material for the device you are using, to the servers, cooper wiring, once again the list is endless. 28:40 but he still flies. If we really want to make a change, we'll need to live like they did pre industrial revolution or we dwindle down to less than 2 billion. Until captured energy from the sun / wind can mine, smelt, transport..... to the standard of living that we have in 2023, fossil fuels will reign supreme. Do we need to go green, Not to save the planet but ourselves... YES, but we'll need to radically change our mindset. Slow boat to Papua New Guinea? Thank you for uploading and sharing.

Until human civilization changes it's behavior of consumption and lifestyle, this trend will continue. It's easy to put blame on companies and politicians, but companies are merely suppliers of goods that we consume

I just have a question this Climate Denier Professor Happer says Carbon Dioxide although accumulates in the atmosphere (0.04% ) from 400 to 800 PPM the effect on the temperature is not proportional. He says the effect GHG's is just 1% if we duplicate their proportion. Do you have an answer for his assertion? I ask the question because you mention the fossil fuel industry don't care if the emission go two or three times by 2050.

Reductions in emissions mean the economy is shrinking. It can only shrink so much before civil unrest starts.

28:24 if we focus on overconsumption at the extreme end, we might bring the most benefit quickest? And yes, industrial use is by orders of magnitude higher, yet they support the lifestyle of many. Perhaps focusing on stopping the war machines, we could instead create more focus on creation via things like food production, children's edification, and care for elders.

8x more materials per MW for offshore wind? That sounds very high to me. Do you have a reference? I think 3x more material per MW is more realistic. Offshore wind gets better capacity factors than onshore wind, and floating wind turbines can get capacity factors over 0.60, so you get significantly more energy per MW of capacity. Another factor is that offshore turbines can grow much larger than onshore turbines, so you reach more efficiency per MW (in terms of cost and materials), and taller towers allow for higher capacity factors.

@krautergarten4529

7 ай бұрын

8x is very generous. 4-5x alone is the capacity factor. And another 5-10x cause of the incredibly low energy density of air/wind. You need aprox. 1666 onshore (1000 offshore) !!! 160m tall 3MW tubines to replace one 1GW power station even without accounting for the grid storage wind needs. 1000 x 3MW x 33% = 1000MW ... 200-300km²!!!

That’s not a rule, it is a pattern witnessed in modernity, which is precisely what needs to be problematized. Trying to go against the energy gradients in the biosphere of which we are a part only creates more problems. Increased materials use, increased population, increased land-use and biodiversity decline etc. Solar energy captured by plants is immensely efficient, and possibly sufficient. It is our machines that consume most of the excess energy, and they have become and end to themselves which benefit a minority of the species, but harm everyone. It’s a Faustian bargain.
