Let me be explicit. Here at the end of 2025, if you hear anyone say replacing fossil fuels with renewables is going to be expensive, they're either misinformed, uninformed, or lying to you.
Even leaving out the massive economic costs of #climate changes caused by burning fossil fuels, #renewableenergy is cheaper now.

600, you failed to read, died three years ago. In the rainforests of BC.
Of heat.
600 British Columbians, on their floors.
On their beds. One was a teenager. Died, of inescapable heat.
A polar nation. Dead. On the floor of their homes.

When Putin Invades, or Miller, they will take the nuclear reactors first. There are ZERO methods to defend.
Solar on roofs, every roof, means the power system can never be taken.
When heat death comes to your town, and it will, soon, power on the roof means you won't cook if the power goes out.
"600 killed by climate heat in temperate rainforest in a polar nation." 3 years ago, on their beds and floors. Over a weekend.
The worst climate destruction is ending the water cycle, and the creation of rain rivers, atmospheric rivers.
Once gentle and life giving, climate heat created rain rivers are now brutal and life taking. Carbon fuels break climate, insurance companies won't insure you.
Your climate opinion doesnt matter to insurance.
Who will pay for #climate destruction?
You will
A lot
Then more. Then more each and every year coming.
Building the new energy is cheaper TO YOU than the cost oil.
When you understand that under capitalism a forest has no 'value' until you cut it down, you begin to grasp the root of the ecological crisis we're in.
A forest isn’t simply a collection of trees, it’s a living, breathing community that protects, supports and heals.🌳💚🌍
The destruction of forests by climate heat and catastrophic wildfires dwarfs commercial over logging by orders of magnitude.
Ending commercial logging entirely without ending carbon fuels would not delay the end of forests by a year, not one month. Climate heat turned Canadiian forests to ash, bigger than Poland, in 30 months.
Climate heat is killing German forests where they stand. Uncut.
Build solar and wind, or stop pretending to care.
Remember how EVs could never compete because batteries didn't allow them to go far enough, because they couldn't be charged fast enough, because they were too expensive...?
Funny how innovation works.

"AI could invent free renewable energy."
Or, y'know, we could deploy the stuff that works and is already cheaper than the fossil alternative, while doing the hard political work of figuring out how to pass the savings on to households, balancing the interests of shareholders and ratepayers.
Move over, AI. @sciencemagazine Breakthrough of the Year: the explosive, unstoppable growth of renewables.
Well-deserved distinction.
