The Big Misconception About Clean Energy

Your points about reframing clean energy as an abundant and game-changing source is poignant. Too many cynics on green power often portray decarbonization with sacrifice and scarcity. You are right. It doesn't have to be this way. Before I had solar panels on my home, I used to scrimp and conserve electricity simply to avoid an outrageous power bill. After I got my solar panels, my electrical use shot up way up yet my power bill remains at zero. Getting free electricity from the sun is liberating. It's also guilt free and it allows me to do more work, cook my food, heat my water,  and make my HVAC much more comfortable year round with low impact. Your piece absolutely brings out a critical point... clean power can be reimagined to bring abundance to humanity (ie: desalinization, technology, interconnectivity, etc) while being less of a burden to the ecology..
