Maybe it is time to revisit the 10-Point Plan to Cut Oil Use?

@CyclesSmiles @peterdutoit that would help incentivise micromobility, walking, and cycling for sure.

@peterdutoit and the EU, as well as its nation states, seem to focus on the opposite

@CyclesSmiles @peterdutoit I feel that’s included in the ”cycling” step. But also indirectly in the several ”less cars” steps.

I see this as mostly a list of things that can be done very quickly, and one way of interpreting ”building bike lanes” is the multi-year process of curb and asphalt laying. But in the meantime, just blocking off a street, parts of a street or even a road is enough to get started.

@peterdutoit WTF is the "up to three days a week" about? Why not let people continue to work from home full time? That bit was written by a commercial property company, was it?

@GOKUSHRM @peterdutoit That won't work. There is plenty of oil still in the ground for next I don't know how many centuries, it's just it's currently not profitable to extract it. But that will change as soon as the "easier" oil is all gone.

[ticho@mas.to]

@peterdutoit You're forgetting step zero - drown leadership of oil companies in their own oil, as well as any politician that took money from them, and keep doing that until there's nobody left to drown.

@peterdutoit
For those wondering: Global consumption is roughly 100 million barrela a day, so 2.7 million barrels a day is 2.7%.

I hope we'll get that down to a point where the calculation is much more difficult

@TimWardCam more like a senior management requirement I think.

For senior management to go from sync to full async in my experience at least is almost impossible.

[timwardcam@c.im]

@peterdutoit Well, I've just retired in preference to returning to an office of unknown, because unmonitored, safety.

@peterdutoit Plan probably needs an update based on the use of home delivery services, at least based on the behaviour at my house.
