We call the fire department, and we quickly roll out our own hoses. It\u2019s all quite clear, isn&#8217;t it? We don&#8217;t wait until 2035 or even longer. We don\u2019t wait to put out the fire. Why is it taking so long to implement the transformation in the energy sector? Solar and wind energy have been around for a long time now, hydroelectricity for centuries. The point is to ban fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>Why does it always take so long for those who are partly responsible for the climate crisis, such as the sheikhs of the United Arab Emirates or Saudi Arabia \u2013 and many others \u2013 to put out the fire from which they are making so much money? Why don&#8217;t they just leave the oil and gas in the ground? Because it makes money, and there\u2019s an enormous industry making money from it. So, the logic is purely capitalist in nature. But the laws of nature cannot be reconciled with the laws of the market. We realise that the laws of nature are crucial for the future of humanity. So, what do we do with the market?<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmpro\"><div class=\"pmpro_card pmpro_content_message\"><h2 class=\"pmpro_card_title pmpro_font-large\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"var(--pmpro--color--accent)\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" class=\"feather feather-lock\"><rect x=\"3\" y=\"11\" width=\"18\" height=\"11\" rx=\"2\" ry=\"2\"><\/rect><path d=\"M7 11V7a5 5 0 0 1 10 0v4\"><\/path><\/svg>Membership Required<\/h2><div class=\"pmpro_card_content\"><p> You must be a member to access this content.<\/p><p><a class=\"pmpro_btn\" href=\"https:\/\/eco123.info\/en\/membership-levels\/\">View Membership Levels<\/a><\/p><\/div><div class=\"pmpro_card_actions pmpro_font-medium\">Already a member? <a href=\"https:\/\/eco123.info\/en\/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Feco123.info%2Fen%2Fshort-stories-en%2Fback-to-the-future-2%2F\">Log in here<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><em><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><div class=\"author-info\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-img\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Uwe-Heitkamp.png?w=618\" alt=\"\" \/><div class=\"author-info-content\"><h3>Uwe Heitkamp (64)<\/h3>\n\t\t\ttrained TV journalist, book author and hobby botanist, father of two grown-up children, knows Portugal for 30 years, founder of ECO123.
