What is the path? I went to the Climate March in 2017 and was very disillusioned. Lots of bitching but no solutions. An awful lot of travel (and emissions!) to something that I haven't seen have an impact from. I know I'm not the only one frustrated by this. https://twitter.com/pragmactivist/status/1203060968030457864 …

The path is: 1. Decarbonize electric generation 2. Adopt electric vehicles 3. Replace furnaces with heat pumps.

Didn't think the path requested had to do with steps that can and should be taken. More like: what we do to accumulate enough political power to MAKE those steps happen, and quickly? Is there a plan/path that is more than "Protest in big numbers till we can't be ignored"?

You have more power than you think you do. But, if you're protesting, you're probably wasting that power. If you want to use it, get off the streets and get into the conference rooms where policy decisions are made. Don't protest, propose.

Rather than spending an afternoon marching every once in a while, if you want to use your power to influence policy, you need to spend the hundreds of hours needed to study and craft detailed policy proposals and present them to policy makers. Marching is easy. Do the hard work.

I've been a party in most of the New York's Electric and Gas rate cases for several years -- as an individual, without a group behind me. Nonetheless, I've had a significant impact in getting new rates defined, old policies changed, and made more progress than any protester has.

I would agree Bob! Bitching doesn't get stuff done. Working does. Find your work, right? What's the change you're most proud of?

Nate, in New York today, "Beneficial Electrification" is in policy discussions at every level. The PSC has ordered utilities to save 5TBtu by 2025 by installing heat pumps. We are pioneering new electric rate structures to more equitably allocate costs. Dandelion exists. etc...

The policy is important, how is that going to happen at the kitchen table? Both sides are needed. We're focusing on the table.
