As a result, we’ll need help from complementary, advanced heat solutions to bend the curve on carbon emissions and meet our net zero goals.. One of the biggest decarbonisation challenges we face, and one of the biggest opportunities presented to us, comes in the form of repowering coal power plants.
Taking the wood out of my own eye before I try to take it out of the eyes of others..The answer, I feel, to the limitation of an individual impact is multiplication.
Multiplying each effect by ten, by a thousand, by a million, etc.Through support and work with organisations which advocate for change, apply pressure and do positive things at scale.I can make choices about what I do and buy and communicate those choices.
These actions get us to the 100s may be the 1,000s.To get further though I need to be involved in the leadership of change.

I don’t think we can credibly argue that capitalism has not been a key enabler in the rapid technological advancements of the last two to three hundred years.And when we talk about capitalism, we cannot ignore the name Adam Smith.
