Well Mr Trump is at it again! Whether you love him or loath him, you can certainly be sure he will be grabbing headlines again next week.
Governments and nations are essentially selfish, inward looking, self perpetuating entities, that try to work with others, but as we see regularly fail to acheive anything near to it; look at the UK leaving the EU, Syria, etc.
So when humanity is faced with a truly global problem, how do you work on that? You get all governments to agree, of course... well that is a similar task to herding cats, and as we have seen the Paris Accord has amazingly lasted a whole 2 years! That is actually a huge acheivement, never before have so many nations actually agreed.
So what are we to do when faced with governments, who really just are never going to be able to take concerted action, versus a problem of global magnitude that just needs action to be taken? We stop relying on government to do it for us. We take the decisions into our own hands, and we let governments get on with being nasty little children.
Ok thats easy to say, but practically what can we do to help with climate change? You can go around your home, change light bulbs, adjust the heating/air con by one degree, turn off the TV when you arent watching it and dont put more water in the kettle than you really need. You know the drill, and thats the problem, we tried all this before, and it works and is working, but we know its not enough.
If you really want to get serious, install solar photovoltaic panels on your home, easy! Whats that you say, they are expensive? Well thats true, the financial outlay is still quite high, but its coming down all the time, and the government will give you incentives wont they? Will they, though? We see in multiple nations governments trying to scale back or cut altogether support of renewable energy, UK government have, Spain are, now Mr Trump works his magic...
So how do we the people of planet Earth take control of this issue without governments, who we just cant rely on to do it for us? Crypto-currency baby! Yes thats right, irrespective of whether your home is suitable for solar PV, you can make it a reality for others who can install it. We are not just talking home-owners either, business and even those crazy governments can benefit... what is it; SolarCoin!
https://www.SolarCoin.org is run on Proof of Stake Time algo, its super low energy if its run on Raspberry Pis or other low power kit, it rewards each 1 MWh of solar energy with 1 SolarCoin, free of charge, its really that simple! If the price rises to around $10 per SLR, this is when it will start to accellerate solar PV installations globally. Its no scam coin, the IRENA (International Renewable ENergy Agency) has approved it, its been presented to the EU Parliament and other agencies and it is gaining real interest. Its also been around for years, its no flash-in-the-pan phenomenon.
If you have solar PV, claim your free SolarCoins, and stake them for additional rewards. If you cant put solar on your roof, just buy and hodl some SLR, you will be raising the price and making it work its non-governmental magic. Come on people, lets show that we can do it, that crypto can have major positive benefits for humanity, lets escape the Silk Road and Mt. Gox stigmas of the past!
All commenters I will follow, even if they are negative, please resteem this post.
Yus! Cryptocurrencies are going to fix a lot of things. If we so choose.
Agreed, followed you :)
I totally agree! Short therm interest will not saves our planet!
You got a follower :)
You too ;D
The most expensive part to getting PV panels on your house is to first buy the house.
Ha ha yes, well hopefully crypto can help you there too, good luck!
Well this is very interesting! I can't vouch for it yet, but the idea is bold and seems highly workable!
You got a follow :)
