From transport to energy. In particular the clean kind. A hopeful song. I’d like to say it’s a hopeful chapter but it was a struggle.
I struggle a bit with my climangst, and my album sales fragility. I try to explain that our moral zoom knobs are fundamentally too glitchy to think about the globe, and hence stave off full nihilism for at least another month. Mike struggles with Extinction Rebellion and the Green New Deal. He gleefully ends up on his favourite thing, capitalism. Capitalism’s fine, apparently.
Lyrics
Those solar beams fuel future dreams
Clean Energy! Clean Energy!
It’s on the way, that’s what I say
Clean Energy! Clean Energy!
So let us raise the turbine blades
Clean Energy! Clean Energy!
Let’s ride the waves and catch the rays
We still have hope
We still have hope
We still have hope
That Earth can cope
It’s on the brink, see what you think
No need to burn, the tide has turned
Let’s just get rid. Transform the grid.
Those gigawatts transformed our hearts.
Let’s talk about the weather
Let’s talk about the weather
Let’s talk about let’s talk about let’s talk about the weather
We still have hope
We still have hope
We still have hope
That our Earth can cope
