Where should we invest? In prevention or in cure?

 I just discovered that $50 billion a year is being spent on Pfizer and Moderna Covid Vaccinations. The world with willpower found that money in under 2 years.

That $50 billion is enough to move the whole of Africa to 100% Renewable Energy in a year! And that is giving Africa what it really needs 200 GW, not what is has now, between 70 GW and 100 GW.

Europe is at 600 GW peak demand. 24 hour renewable energy is possible in Europe by 2026.

As far as I can tell the USA produces the same amount of electricity as Europe. So let's say 2026 for the USA.

McKinsey says that it will take at least until 2050!

David Lipschitz says that we can do it by 2030, if we just change our buying decisions. And the first decision? Use the knowledge gained in Covid and High Oil Price times to force everyone who can move their offices to their homes to do so. I've written extensively about the benefits of "remote" work. Note that 500 years ago, enclosure moved people from home work to factories. The modern factory is the office building. Working in a home office is local work. Any other work is remote!

Our health depends on us interacting with our biosphere that gives us life. When will we wakeup and learn where we should be spending money?

South African Energy Policy Failures

Where has South Africa failed? Is it in policy? I've researched South Africa's Energy and Transport Policies. And the failures are in implementation. Watch this 4 hour video series on South Africa's electricity policy (strategy), law (guidance to implement strategy), expert commentary, and my own commentary.

PS: I studied Transport policy to see if the problem is only in Energy and actually it is in both. Note that policy was informed by wide public participation. Implementation has hardly any public participation. I believe this is where the problems lie. Government thinks it can do it alone, with its consultants, and its in house expertise. But Billion Dollar Programs MUST have public input.

David's books

 

I'm selling my first three paperbacks for R600 (for all three; the full price is currently R1880) including delivery anywhere in Cape Town. Payment for delivery is a cup of coffee, with the author, who lives in Milnerton, when he delivers. So far I've delivered as far as Robertson, but they had to buy me lunch :)

 

The books are:

 

The Torah as an Enlightenment Toolkit: how the Jacob archetype can become the Israel archetype. These are archetypes. They aren't men or women.

 

A User Manual for Life on Earth: how to run the world so that we don't have plagues and global warming.

Ramblings of an A-lien: how to get out of debt, for humanity.

 

The books are also available on a Smashwords sale at the moment (for July) for up to 75% off: see https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/lipdav14
