  • Is your goal financial return, or promoting an environmental / energy efficient future? Both? I think people usually mean the former when they say “invest” but it might mean either.

    If it fits your goals, looking for a community solar or municipal energy plan with a green/local option can provide additionality, and ‘less climate catastrophe’ / ‘more energy independence’ are kinds of return on investment I value.

    Though I’d also like my retirement funds to be supporting / depending on value from non fossil fuel.





  • I think your argument depends on rational leadership with a horizon more than a couple years out and grounded in tangible value delivered.

    My read of the situation is that leadership is motivated by short term gains and FOMO, and a substantial part of the US economy is disguised garbage production, so replacing many jobs with AI will increase profits without obviously damaging corporations for a couple years.
