I’ve been in the Middle East recently and let me tell you - they are FAR ahead of the West in terms of solar and geothermal. They know what’s up (the end of oil and climate catastrophe) and they are moving to solar and geothermal FAST. Don’t get me wrong they are still car dependent, and they will still milk oil for everything it’s worth, but solar and geothermal (for cooling in their case) is everywhere on the Arabian peninsula. Just saying.

Katana314@lemmy.world 1 day agoIt frustrates me that the independent, “keep to myself and don’t trust the government” personalities love gas/oil and not solar panels/batteries. Can’t remember a time we invented a war in the Middle East to steal their sunlight.

Makes sense. You don’t get high off your own supply. Norway is all about electric vehicles, too.

I’m working on it too. I’m part way there. (47 year old telecommuting engineer and off grid homesteader hoping to retire to do farm stuff full time as soon as I can)
