@Pat_Walrond @IslandNewsService I have to say, both perspectives are wrong-headed: In my experience, we can't decarbonize any faster. The technology and solutions are most certainly there, but the service and implementation sector needed to enact the huge changes, AT SCALE, required is simply not prepared for that work. I wanted to electrify my life, and it took two years to find contractors that would even book the work. And I am way ahead of the curve! #ClimateChange
@Pat_Walrond @IslandNewsService Can you imagine what it will be like in, say 5 years, when 100 fold more folks want to do the same thing? No way! It's not going to happen. We need to increase the HVAC and electrician workforce by roughly 50x. That will take 20 years minimum, even if it were a priority, which it currently isn't.
