"0.3 per cent of the world’s land area – yes, just the land – would be needed to meet the current energy demand from solar alone, which is LESS THAN THE CURRENT LAND FOOTPRINT OF FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE."

Not only is solar more than capable of supplying all the world’s energy, in the long term it is the only power source that won’t fry the planet

Sing it from the rooftops: congestion pricing in NYC is an unambiguous triumph. It is succeeding beyond its backers wildest aspirations & none of the second-order effects people worried about have come to pass.
It's a pure win. Celebrate it! Talk about it! For once, let's own the f'ing narrative.
