Only greedy idiots fret about “raising public awareness”, because they see that as more important than actually doing anything practical.
If you want to get practical, then don’t present such ideas as “saving the world”, because that is hooey, the world doesn’t need “saving”. Instead, show people how to save money.
Saving money is practical. Saving money is good. Especially when it also gets you something out of the deal besides just saving money. And if it helps the environment, then great.
For example, in the desert southwest, a/c bills in summer can be enormous, because of the huge energy demands. There are two, practical, common sense ways around this problem that save a ton of money, and energy, as well.
The first is the swamp cooler. Mechanically simple, when the temperature is high and the humidity is low, they are very efficient. They work in about two of the three summer months, and can drop cooling bills hundreds of dollars.
The second idea, and far less used, is a solar only powered portable a/c for home crawlspaces. In summer, such crawlspaces can easily reach 150 degree. But if a small, portable a/c run on solar cells can lower that temperature to a mere 100 degrees, it takes an incredible load off the main house a/c.
Importantly, it doesn’t make the crawlspace cool, just cooler. But this marginal change makes all the difference.
And marginal change is a big principle to saving money.
In a few years, it might be inexpensive enough to bubble oxygen through swimming pools to sterilize them, instead of chlorine. The US Olympic Swimming Team has long done this.
Again, a marginal, money saving idea that adds up over time.
Thanks for posting. When the enviro cult is recognized as the totalitarian front it is, Lomborg will be recognized as the hero he is for using reason and facts to combat it.
