RE: Danish visions on an fossil fuel free society
Dude, I was just reading about Copenhagen's plan too! I managed to pass a city council resolution in my city attempting to match Denmark's goals.
I can't wait for a fossil free future, think of how much cleaner all the city air will be...
That is brilliant. We can live as fossil free as we like ourselves, but it won't matter until we take it to the political world. I think that Copenhagen is a good case-study because we do not have any easy solutions - no water-power like in Sweden and Norway, no geothermics like in Iceland. We rejected nuclear power back in the seventies and now we have to be clever to make it all work.
Try to look at our decentralised district heating, that is one of the major achievements and remember that these decentralised structure is owned by cooperatives. That is a major point.
Best of luck from here!
Yeah, I really wish we had gone way more in on nuclear, would make things a lot easier for us now.
Still, TCM has gone international, with chapters sprouting up in Canada, hopefully the model makes its way to Europe and Asia as well!
Yes, nuclear energy would probably have been developed into something more secure and thorium might have been in use already. On the other hand - it is still a centralised approach with all the risks and problems connected.
I will start sharing the TCM site on some of the other social network I am on and see what I can do. even though the political establishment here is very much working on the issue, we are all dependent on each other. People in Denmark know that we can do nothing that matters if not larger nations do as well!
also see my comment above about The Climate Mobilization, haha
