I love those early prophetic insights. Back in the early 2000s at my uni i went to a talk on renewable energy storage
The speaker said every household already has 3-4 days worth of energy storage ???
It's just tied up in the fuel of their car!
but when cars are electric...
its now called V2G

Guess i'll have to keep looking for a bird orchid
We saw quite a few different orchids on a very enjoyable, short walk in the Jarrahdale. most of them were common favourites but i expect someone who has their "eye in" would have seen heaps more.

I think i saw one of those (or similar) unfortunately it was a little windy so hard to get a good shot (with by phone) from the angle i took the photo you cant really see the upper green bit but from memory it looked very similar (Jarrahdale , mundlimup timber trail)

if you drive you need roads and car parking (at both ends) and petrol stations and ports and ...
if not for cars the coffee shop would be closer...

but we can consume less and maintain our "standard of living" by consuming more efficiently (much more efficiently in fact) its just that, currently, the agenda is controlled by those who profit from our wasteful energy habits. cycling is a great transport efficiency example

Still like that in far north Queensland. My colleague woke at 4:30 am in perth for a 6am flight. Connected in Brisbane then to Cairns (5pm) ahead of a 6am start to drive to weipa to deploy an ocean glider. While he was in transit our charter boat operator cancelled. I notified him on arrival....

ha ha you go to windfarms on holiday? I bet your partner loves that! I'm only saying because i do too. I went to a lovely enercon one in Austria and got to visit the "observation deck" an early enercon option that placed a doughnut shaped glass enclosed platform below the nacelle

That's awesome. Got s touch of the slapstick silent movie about it. Speed it up a little and make it black and white. I love he got away by bike where those guys probably had half a dozen trucks between them .

Fusion powered electricity absolutely will power the world! Fusion power beamed wirelessly from space is already the cheapest and fastest growing energy sector ,😉

you can't get more bland and geologically stable than Birdsville in outback Australia . but but at 1.3km deep and drawing on hot groundwater, not "deep hot rocks", i don't think it qualifies.
also it has since been decommissioned in favor of solar (whose resource is plentiful at Birdsville

if you aim is to say "climate change is bad, this is whats happening isn't it shit" then its ok to have the right answer for the wrong reason . but if you seek to intervene or predict whats happening next then if one doesn't understand the mechanism one may be in for an unexpected outcome

Remember when you had two punctures in a row and i noticed your puncture resistant tyres and said perhaps things are happening differently. i explained how to test and you found the dislodged rim tape.

and there are other processes
for example ocean currents can strengthen (or weaken) and transport energy from the tropics further south. which is what scientists think happened Of WA last summer
climate change is a bit of a bugger in the details

changes in UPPER ocean temp can be rapidly brought about by reduction in upper ocean turbulence
It affects the vertical energy DISTRIBUTION
ie you can have high upper ocean temps without requiring excess energy input
The ocean is SLOWLY warming & there's other factors that complicate exactly how

my take on that chart. is 20% (half of poorest quartile) cycle because it's the cheapest form of transport. The other 80% of cyclists cycle for other reasons not related to income.

Yep and this is largely driven by the "learning curve"
ie: new , more cost effective, battery chemistries are on the horizon and will further reduce costs. as i believe you too have mused with the possible impact of sodium ion batteries on EV prices as an example.
