When Greta talks to the public sphere about government failing its climate responsibility, this is the kind of stuff she’s talking about.
It’s easy to assume we “just” need subsidies and incentives (or the ending of same) for “green” solutions, but the problem is much larger than that. We need to be operating “sustainably” at every level, in between departments, across legislation.
If regulation is blocking us, get it changed. If changing legislation is too slow, refactor. We must go faster.

- mywittyname 5y agoIt's easy to be gung ho about having other people use inspiring, untested technology. But it's not so fun when you're the teaching example for why regulations are slow moving. "Sorry your house fell down, but we never thought to test this stuff at temperatures that low. I mean, we thought Texas was a hot place!"
