Post #2: Energy (pages 2-37) Week of 2/21/22

Welcome to the official start of our discussion of Drawdown! You can post here at any time during the Spring!

This week we are discussing the topic of Energy. This topic is always timely and relevant.

What are your thoughts on this topic? In this section of the book, the authors state, “This section highlights the technologies and strategies supplanting energy production from fossil fuels.” They discuss wind turbines, microgrids, solar farms, nuclear energy, waste-to-energy, and more!

“Bloomberg predicts that wind energy will be the lowest-cost energy globally by 2030.”
― Paul Hawken, Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming
