I agree with Vice-Admiral McGinn who pointed out that renewables will save us from dictators whose power comes from fossil fuels.
He argued that renewable energy will save us from dictators whose power stems from fossil fuels. He pointed out that the US needs to up its game on renewables, and I strongly agree.
The Vice Admiral wrote that we are witnessing history repeat itself and that both America and its allies have been placed into a conflict that is “inextricably linked to the world’s addiction to fossil fuels.” He added that if we were able to heed the warning and act now, this could be the last global conflict related to fossil fuels.
This isn’t new, and as the Vice Admiral pointed out, dictators and rulers have been flexing their powers due to their control of these finite resources that only get their value from the world’s addiction to it. He wrote: “In the 21st century, there is no reason why wars should be fought for and fueled by oil and gas anymore. Thanks to enormous leaps in technology, with the right policies in place, clean, renewable energy can provide most of our energy needs.
