Something I see a lot is the daylight between "low cost is a powerful driver of mass behavior" and "low cost is a powerful argument in favor of something."
The former is MUCH more true than the latter.

Important thread. If I’m understanding it correctly, there is a comparison with public health. When people stopped pooping their pants b/c cities could provide clean water, that was a no brainer. But it gets harder when people need to change their own behavior to keep themselves and others safe.
Good points here. The fact that solar/batteries/EVs are now cheaper than fossil techs is a game changer. But the game isn’t over. Politics, policy, retirement rates etc all very much matter
Good point. As a climate ‘lobbyist’ I prefer sticking to arguing for climate action in its own right, but then stressing - when true - that it is not in conflict with saving money and increasing autonomy.

Cannot fucking believe an external 4TB SSD drive that cost me $200 last year is now $1100. Had to check receipts to make sure. They’re really out there trying to keep
you from having a PC, phone, or a gaming console so they can have hallucinating, polluting chatbots that drop bombs on kids’ schools.
