A 🧵 within a 🧵, from the UK:
Excellent outline of why efficiency is required, not just better mechanical gear powered by renewables.
From here in BC, with great hydropower, I like to use hydro dam mega projects as a metric.
No efficiency? 5+ more hydro mega dams. When ecologically we can’t afford 1
Couple of points;
#1 more efficient products are often better in other ways anyway: e.g. a more insulated, more efficient fridge rejects less heat onto the home and is less noisy. Ditto other appliances, broadly.
