My son is working in some capacity on an upcoming tech & environmental summit in Uganda. All the big corporations will be there. The promise of AI artificial saviors will likely be heralded. The main purpose for participants presenting their wares is to sell stuff to the attendees, but when talking privately they agree the best path forward is to reduce use and waste.
One example he mentioned is that often it’s more environmentally sustainable to drive an older car that is already built, properly maintained, even if it runs on gas, than it is to junk that car and build, sell, and buy the most efficient new vehicle on the market, EV or otherwise.
The devil is in the details of course. For instance a pickup I drove behind going up Highway 11 outside of Mountain View last week belched out a 1950’s Pittsburgh steel mill cloud of black smoke every time the driver stepped on the accelerator. Junk that carbon crapinator.
Good to hear from you ironyak. Don’t be a stranger!
