How to keep up with the pace of technology? ...Simple! Be deliberate. Choose what you let into your life. That’s the difference between you and the Amish. Because we will get rid of television. If it’s bad for the family, we will not have it...

Will the #usarmy be able to move to an all #electricalvehicle fleet by 2030? Is the US #Energy Secretary realistic? Yes, you can "get there" and have a full EV Fleet. But will it get you anywhere?

Let's have some fun; You call A.I. "#ArtificialIntelligence". Yes, it is a game changer for everything, not least #Sustainability. But not as a replacement. It is #AugmentedIntelligence. Take an ol' #Lebanese Joke, and 10 minutes later...

In #policy, as in medicine: nothing is free from side-effects. This happens in #ClimateChange policies, mostly due to the impact of Response Measures: direct, indirect, and deferred.

Mess with the #WaterCycl;e at our own peril, and invite the #BlackSwan into human affairs

The #Resource curse is a feature of our economic systems, not a bug. So it does not have to be about oil.

New technologies, new civilization. new cities; we need new urban structures, we need them from the bottom up

The 1918-1920 race for #Azerbaijan's #oil may prefigure 2023-2025. An #EnergyCrisis turns friends into enemies, peacemakers into warriors. The adventures of Dunsterforce and Bicherakov Cossak's may illustrate this

The Chinese Spy Balloon tale is one of a world of LARPers, where no one knows what the Fu-Go they're doing.

#CentralBanks & Central Planners; Real Centralization's never been done before... Now we have #ArtificialIntelligence ... Reality: If you want #intelligence, you're looking in the wrong place.

We once had a #CentralBankDigitalCurrency; the Inca's called it the Quipu. Their proto #CBDC system proved #unsustainable The current system is no more #Sustainable

#Energy is 3 things: power, storage, and transport. No #sustainableenergy can miss any of those things.

From #energiewende to #energy "ende"; the folly of attempting an #energytransition without #nuclear power

What is the difference between Energy Density & Power Density?

#VirtualWater gave us real opportunities, but it also implied great challenges; with the increased #centralization in #agribusiness, any supply disruption can cause trouble, like the current #energycrisis.. The #energy supply disruptions of 2022-2023 may be laying the conditions of #famine.

The #unfccc continues to struggle with the dual objective set by the #ParisAccord at #COP21. The #climatechange negotiators for #cop27 have their work cut out for them.

What can we expect from the #unfccc 's #cop27 meeting on #climatechange ?

The main challenge is not not #climatechange, by itself. The main challenge that our modern #society is too #fragile to withstand a radical change.

Farming and Animal herding as tools of #geoengineering

My 2 cents / 2 minutes to outline what's a #unfccc COP, and what's the main thing with #cop27 In time for the #sharmelsheikh conference on #climatechange

Geo-Engineering can do a lot of good. Like everything, there is a good and bad way to go about doing it. Expect more push for #geoengineering following #cop27, as it struggles to complete the advances made at the #cop21 #ParisAccord

Whe're not running out of energy; only falling off an energy cliff... and that's because we're out of balance

Wanna #JustStopOil? You'll be stopping civilization. This is a second version of the video, shorter, with better sound. Alas, not much better voice; I have to make do with this "kolinos" voice of mine. Anyway, In our tiktok age, short vids reach better than detailed arguments.

Can we do without petroleum? Everyone talks about getting rid of oil, or stopping "fossil fuels". They forgot the central role of coal and petroleum to our society.
