minus-squareDogyote@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·16 days ago If we can reduce that demand as we continue to build out renewables, we can decommission fossil fuel power generation at huge rates. That’s a fine idea but wouldn’t it be better to build out renewables specifically to decommission fossil generation.
