ideals

there’re so so many ways my own margin of error’s hit TILT.

the closer i get to any discussion the worse i feel because the overlapping timelines in people’s heads make me want to rip out my own throat, rather than resolve them. reading of paradigm shifts in their original language — am i moving from the normal science of greens into big systems hysteria — from futures and strategic reserves to home batteries and weird wire math — from cartels to co-ops — what the hell is going on — i don’t want to be perfect — i don’t have to be perfect — but how many paradigms are we talking about, here?

san francisco’s working hard on this. california’s got to wait.

this is a hard thing to do by percentage. people say, “i need to know the costs, i need to understand.” and what can you say?

“no gas cars in 2020. no coal plants in 2020. cargo and intercity travel largely by train. building codes completely redone. agriculture. here: read the list.

“it’s long.”

maybe this is my maxed out. diversity and effectiveness are flat. i never thought my will to live was built of imagination. thought it was instinctual. animal. maybe i’ve gone pre-traumatic disorderly. maybe one morning the air won’t let me breathe like in the nightmare or maybe it will be slow.

this is how you want me to think, right?

terrorized and petrified so your life goes how you want it?

maybe i’ll be you. maybe win for the rest of the time.

‘when discussing this kind of bold target,

people in Japan usually cannot get past talking about whether or not it is possible. However, Governor Ishihara has taken the resolute stance that officials of the Tokyo government who cannot achieve any results should leave their jobs. This has created a proactive atmosphere and convinced officials that it is their role to develop ideas about how to achieve the target, as opposed to merely discussing whether they can make it or not.

one advantage of liking the future is being willing to prepare for it.

ah, ah, ah, yes yes yes

Acknowledging that the actions of concentrated sources of purchasing power can change the energy structure, the Green Energy Purchasing Forum was initiated in June. It now counts 80 organizations among its members.…

Tokyo has given high priority to building construction. Most buildings built today will last beyond 2050. Thus, their design and construction should reflect the specifications that will be required in 2050.…

A net cut in energy consumption and a shift to renewable energy are necessary to achieve emission reduction. The focus of the national energy policy is on reduction measures by type of energy. In the case of household energy consumption, for example, the national government first looks at the types of energy used (electricity: 47 percent; city gas: 47 percent; kerosene: 6 percent) then devise measures for each. This is a top-down approach.

Tokyo, by contrast, first asks, “What are citizens using energy for?” The answer is, to make life more comfortable. With this demand-centered approach, Tokyo pays more attention to how energy is being used (lighting and home electronics: 37 percent; hot water: 43 percent; heating and cooling: 20 percent). Starting from this point, Tokyo then asks itself, “What services are necessary to make life comfortable for citizens, what energy is required to provide such services, and where does that energy come from?”

good day and welcome.

how are you today.

this is your research priority report.

we have the equipment and methods we need for good cheap sustainable living.

we do not have the equipment and methods to affordably clean our pollution.

thank you and enjoy.
