The Energy Consortium
A recent transplant from St Petersburg has written an opinion story for the Gainesville Sun on Climate Crisis Solutions. David Hastings joins us to share the silence at our outdoor worship in the Quaker Woods. He comes to us from the St Petersburg Quaker Meeting.
David's May 17 article in the Sun concentrates on ways in which we can avoid contributing to global emissions. But action is necessary; if we are complacent now when we have the opportunity to initiate changes we will pass the tipping point and find decline inevitable.
David says:
"The massive shift in technology has transformed how we can produce energy here in the Sunshine State, in developing countries and wherever the sun shines. These advances are revolutionizing energy policy."
OUTDOOR WORSHIP
Thank you David for your article in the Gainesville Sun and our conversation after Meeting for Worship in the Woods about electric vehicles and charging stations. I am already looking into the possibilities.
ReplyDeleteI think the concept of critical mass may come into play in the transition to less polluting means of acquiring energy to operate our houses and vehicles and other items which we have become accustomed to considering essential. It is comparable to horse and buggy quickly becoming obsolete when the horseless carriage appeared.
