❌ An economy based on fossil fuel imports for transport, electricity generation, industry etc. has massive energy security risks
✅ An economy predominantly based on electrotech (solar and wind, EVs, heat pumps) risks much less
Just ask Europe in 2022

The #PragmaticClimateReset is a two part-essay calling for a reset in our approach to climate action. Part I shows why narratives trumpeting the failure of efforts to date are wrong. Part II says that, nevertheless, the climate community now needs to change its approach. 1/n

The increasing trend for more and more EV chargers in public spaces and homes is a great success story that is largely going unnoticed.

Another way electric cars clean the air: study says brake dust reduced by 83%
Exhaust isn't the only impact of cars, they also emit tiny brake particles. Thru regen braking, EVs reduce that (but bikes are even better!)
