When NPR interviewed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in February about her Green New Deal, she said that her goal was bigger than just passing some new laws. "What I hope we're able to do is rediscover the power of public imagination," she said.
Well, we're unleashing our imagination and exploring a dream, a possible future in which we're bringing global warming to a halt. It's a world in which greenhouse emissions have ended.
So what does this world look like?
Mass Electrification (Batteries Hold The Power) (Editor's note: Each story has two sections, the first reflecting the present and the second imagining the world of 2050.)
2019: I went looking for people who've mapped out this world without greenhouse emissions. I found them in Silicon Valley.
Sila Kiliccote is an engineer. The back deck of her house, high up in the hills, overlooks Cupertino. Apple's circular headquarters is hidden in the morning mist. It's a long way from Istanbul, in Turkey, where she grew up; a great place to conjure up future worlds.
"Maybe you'd like some coffee?" Kiliccote says.
Her coffee machine is powered by solar panels on the roof. So is her laptop and her Wi-Fi.

I don’t have many years of fight left in me
I’m already looking like I got too close to that radioactive meteor
It doesn't have anything to do with using humans as batteries, does it?
Nuke china and stop 93% of the pollution.
The Left loves coercion.
If we can make radios and computers out of coconuts, that might not be such a bad thing ...
Solar panels powering coffee maker, etc....hahahaha...NOT here in the Northwest, you idgits. I hate these control freaks and their stupidity.
They use the wind-powered weather control machines to keep the weather perpetually sunny, DUH!

Huge electrical transmission lines share electricity between North and South America.
Through the Darién Gap? Really?
Agree.
After some FReeper post a while back on Molten Salt Reactors - I think they show promise

All the assets and money in the world wouldn’t be able to pay for it.
Haha. Sounds about right.
NPR holds itself out as a fair and neutral journalist organization. However, this is just naked, liberal propaganda and advocacy.
2050 here or in China?
I found them in Silicon Valley.
Garth is home from work because he gets the day off to celebrate Sun-break Week. Peering out the window, he is pleased to see how clearly Mount Rainier rises from the forest since the use of candles was outlawed, eliminating melting wax pollution.
“If we could just get the rest of the world to stop polluting,” Garth mused. It might make up for the setback when Mount St. Helens erupted, dumping millions of tons of CO2 into the air, delaying even further the coming Ice Age.
2050! Wait a minute. I thought the world was going to end in twelve years!
LOL. Good point. Guess we can’t trust them on anything.
Let’s try this....put all the known large liberal population centers such as NYC, Chicago, LA,etc. on 100 % wind & solar for about 10 yrs. & then they can report on how it worked out...until we screw up the entire country that depends on known reliable sources of energy.
"Some of the large homes haven't changed at all," Keesmaat says. They've just been turned into multifamily units."
Other free-standing houses that once lined suburban cul-de-sacs have disappeared; each one has been replaced with a building that contains five or six homes.
