Did you know there's a way to switch to Solar and have the banks pay and you save?
I am saving J$45K monthly by switching to solar. It cost me J$3.5M upfront, BUT the bank is paying for it, and I keep the savings.
The Sun is free. This is my story, folks! #Thread

Imagine opening your JPS bill, and you owe a whopping J$77,026.40. That's was me last summer. This was close to twice my average.
Solar seemed complicated. Kilowatt hours, inverters, batteries, all Greek. But with my JPS bill through the roof, I HAD to Maths it out.

Here's the key: Buy enough solar panels for day consumption and batteries for the night. I ended up with 17 panels, 1 inverter, and 2 batteries.
The price tag? J$3.5M. I went the bank, borrowed at 10% (J$350k annually or J$30k monthly), and paid the solar company in full.

Back in the day those, including me, who worked on many different versions of the #greendeal all focused on the win-win scenarios ... #greenjobs #greengrowth #justtransition etc. and tho the context has changed completely this win-win farming remains even in the year 2023
Had we mobilised on a war-footing back then, invested at scale, imposed #carbontaxes, innovated like mad & massively increased financial & technological support 4 developing economies to shun coal & adopt #renewables, the #greendeal may have worked, albeit not without real costs

"With a new US admin., & [] the vaccination rollout under way, now is a good time for the major economies of the west (& ideally the world) to sit down & devise a new international #monetary order."

"As part of that there should be widespread #debt cancellation, especially the gov't debt held by #central #banks. We estimate that amounts to approximately $25tn of gov't debt in the major regions of the global economy."

Dec 9, 2020: "Human-made materials now outweigh Earth's entire biomass... human-made mass – driven mostly by enhanced consumption & urban development – exceeds the overall living biomass on Earth."

"On average, every person in the world is responsible for the creation of human-made matter equal to more than their bodyweight each week, the paper published in Nature says."
This is poor (perhaps deliberate) framing.

Wohl wahr: Wie wir bislang wachsen, ist nicht nachhaltig. Aber was folgt daraus? Ende des Wachstums ist reine Illusion angesichts einer wachsenden Weltbevölkerung (=> 10 Milliarden), der rasanten Urbanisierung.. 1/9

.. dem Streben von Milliarden Menschen nach einem besseren Leben. Für sie bleibt sozialer Fortschritt an wirtschaftliches Wachstum gebunden. Also bleibt uns nur die Flucht nach vorn: zur Entkopplung von Wohlstandsproduktion & Naturverbrauch. Das ist kein Abrakadabra. /2
Ja, es gibt biophysische Grenzen des Wachstums, die wir respektieren müssen. Verfügbarkeit von Rohstoffen ist das kleinste Problem. Kritisch sind Klima, Artenvielfalt, Belastbarkeit von Böden & der Meere. Aber daraus folgen keine absoluten Grenzen für ökonomische Wertschöpfung /3

Yes. This is beyond grotesque. Klein references a Bolivian initiative under the Morales gov't - as a lure to promote the GND - without a single acknowledgment to the coup itself.
What Klein does not reference is far more compelling: the 2010 People's Agreement of Cochabamba.

The Cochabamba People's Agreement (April 2010) came out of the Bolivian World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth conference. It was Indigenous-led, with people attending from around the world. #Bolivia

#Whiteness and racism played a key role at this conference.
350's (Klein serves on the board) sole purpose for attending the conference in Bolivia was to literally undermine the host country’s official policy position on climate change (300 ppm, 1ºC limit, etc.)

Let's start with this.

"I have never said that we can’t have economic growth. I have just said that instead of focusing on economic growth & talking about money, we should talk about human lives & ecosystems."

That sounds a lot like this from Klein:
"But I have never said that we need to "slay" "ditch" or "dismantle" #capitalism in order to fight climate change."
