Thank you for well-founded optimism against the background of continual doom-saying! We don't need to focus entirely on apocalyptic scenarios.

Another, but longer-term, bright note is the energy shock is speeding the transition to a greener economy, and the rapid advances in battery tech are bringing much greater levels of energy density and storage.

We might look back in a decade and be surprised by how quickly things have changed for the better.

Loved this. Another silver lining to all of this is, surely, that it will accelerate the transition to greener energy? We can't rely on dodgy countries to supply us with fossil fuels any longer.
