Say I have US$10,000. What's the best use of that money if my goal is to stop climate change? (feddit.cl)

None of this put a dent in CO2 emissions, because more energy available just means more energy consumed.

I'm my geo, we're lowering GHG emissions and increasing electricity output. That isn't entirely due to renewables, but it's part of the equation. Those renewables were affordable due to feed in tariffs mentioned above.

Without continued advocacy, entrenched interests will reverse those trends. With continued advocacy, we may be able to lower emissions further.
