However, if renewable energy can be made widely accessible and lower its cost, then yes, I support a worldwide initiative to decrease non renewable energy reliance.Read Less
I agree that we should increase energy access to all people, but honestly, for those less developed countries that don’t already have an infrastructure that relies on non-renewable resources, the …Read MoreI agree that we should increase energy access to all people, but honestly, for those less developed countries that don’t already have an infrastructure that relies on non-renewable resources, the switch might be easier for them and less costly.Read Less
Agreed! If there’s not already a strong reliance on NR resources, the return on investment for shifting to rewewable energy is going to be much higher for those countries than doubling down. I think …Read MoreAgreed! If there’s not already a strong reliance on NR resources, the return on investment for shifting to rewewable energy is going to be much higher for those countries than doubling down. I think that is where the “worldwide initiative” part would have to come into play, though, since outset costs may be above some underdeveloped states’ capacities.Read Less

Where possible, increased priority on renewable energy is a commendable goal, but not something to be applied across the board without nuance.Read Less

Moving away from things like fossil fuel requires really big investments in new infrastructure for renewable energy. There are also still communities who rely on fossil fuels, so I feel like this global initiative/transition would need to consider all of the possible impacts.Read Less
Increasing the reliance on renewable energy is a great starting point, but it takes years to develop and a lot of money spent that most do not have right now.

Being a long-term goal to decrease reliance on non-renewable energy is great, but there are a lot of factors that play in to how this process would play out.Read Less

This is especially true given the rise of artificial intelligence. A new agreement with enforceable repercussions could significantly aid this objective.Read Less
