I've spent quite a lot of the last four and half years thinking about how to get people to make a renewable, green energy choice. And I've not written much about it.
That's mostly because I don't think I have loads of useful things to say. If I knew the answer I would tell you.
I do collect piles of potentially useful stuff though. Links, podcasts, readings, stray thoughts. So I'm going to try and be better at sharing those.
Here's one: David Runciman talks a lot about climate change and it's political interaction with COVID in this lecture. It's meaty, useful stuff. One spectre he raises, which hadn't occurred to me before, is Farage returning to activist politics as 'anti-green'. Anti wind farms, cycle lanes and green taxes. Pro motorists. (This is the relevant bit.)
He also points out how divided Western societies are: young people, broadly, are radically worried about climate change, old people, broadly, aren't. And "older voters decide elections". That's worth thinking about.
