Burgess COMMENTARY
Peter Burgess
So...did you watch it? What did you think? First Gigawatt Down!
Dear Peter,
You know we're in overtime, right? World's on fire. And like Dr. Strange said in Avengers Endgame - there's a very slim chance we can make it through. We all have to come together. (I think he had the odds at 14 million to one, they may be slimmer here.)
So...my new video, First Gigawatt Down II is here to shine a light on what it's actually going to take to get us there. Please watch it, let me know you saw it. Feel free to comment on the video. Share. Tweet about it with #FirstGWDown. This is something everyone needs to be talking about. Because they aren't. Not this way. You know what I'm talking about.
Well, you will if you've seen the video. You think people are talking about the problem. They're not talking about the problem. Most people don't even see the problem. They're going through the motions of solving a problem.
This video cuts through all that noise. Like never before. Please do watch the video and let me know what you think.
We need to get on the same page if we're going to solve this...for any slight chance of solving this problem.
And, I really need your support to continue this work. If you value it, please become a monthly donor today.
One time donations are also super cool!
Here's what folks are saying about the video:
This reality check has it right!
And,
YAY! HOO-RAY! Another mind-blowing, educational, funny, and devastatingly illuminating video from FP2W. Terrific AGAIN! I learn new stuff every time I watch your programs. Thank you, thank you.
Part of my brain thinks: OMG, what are we going to do?...we are so screwed!
Another part thinks: OMG, we have so much work to do, I see the obstacles more clearly now, I have to keep going, and pushing harder!
The best part of your videos is that they continually inform me and explain the realities of energy production and use.
I have to watch this one a few more times.
And remember. Only you can turn these ideas into a movement and whip Team Earth (and your local household, city, county and state teams) into shape to deal with the impending crisis. Dedicated Donors, those who donate on a monthly basis, make it possible for Footprint to Wings to keep fighting, to focus on coaching you into the unstoppable force you need to be to deal with this looming situation! Can you help us reach our goal by becoming a Dedicated Donor today?

One time donations are also super cool!
Your support is vital and deeply appreciated.
To zero carbon and beyond,
Rezwan

First Gigawatt Down: Part I

What is a “First Gigawatt Down”? The one thing everyone needs to understand if we want to beat the climate crisis. These three words pack a lot of power, and can help us unpack the climate crisis.
DENSITY ALERT! This video may seem over complicated, technical and mathy. Don't panic! In the next video, we'll look at some examples, and it will make more sense. You may even want to skip this video and watch those first, then come back for the technical details.
Either way, we all really need to understand (and LIVE) this term to solve the climate crisis.
To zero carbon and beyond!
