Haha, hasn’t she learned about the outcome of the Streisand effect when Elon Musk tried to prevent it
(e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/ElonJetTracker/)
I think all of this should be a motivation to track all kinds of private jets of billionaires, and make it as public/loud as possible…
I’m not saying it will stay in that way. I’m just disappointed, that this number is not way higher, when comparing to e.g. Germany.
And I would even say it’s the interest of developed countries (as they would have a stake in it, thus profiting from it). I’m not fond of a new form of colonialism (and I would grant them the sole energetic advantage they have of their location), but right now we just need to pivot as fast as possible, colonialism/“globalization” or not…
While this sounds like a solid increase. It’s so much lower than it could be. Germany alone did 14.1GW in 2023 and doesn’t have a very good location compared to most of Africa. (nor does it have that many people).
I hope developed countries are using a lot more of their resources/invest a lot more into solar energy in Africa (e.g. via desertec). It would help both parties, and leads to more stable energy source throughout the year in the northern hemisphere.
Well it’s slightly longer than the genus Homo first appeared, so yeah longer than the lifetime of all human like “animals”.
