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

This could reduce global oil demand by 2.7 million barrels a day in 4 months.

@peterdutoit also where possible, move to a heat pump instead of using gas, install solar panels, reduce grid demand during peak times when gas is likely to be used to cover peak demand. Gas prices are going up too alongside oil. Less fossil fuel demand means less wars.
Electricity rail lines.

@peterdutoit Where’s agriculture?

@peterdutoit I am missing the ' build bike lanes' step. That also boosts people s personal physical and mental health at the same time as transporting them.

@peterdutoit only1 point. Just finish oil ASAP so there ll be no war for oil ️.... No fuel means no vehicles means no pollution.. & no war... Start using solar panels for electricity. Build everything around solar power

@nojhan @peterdutoit under the solar panels

@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

[ahltorp@mastodon.nu]

@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?

[ticho@mas.to]

@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.

[notsoloud@expressional.social]

@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

[peterdutoit@mastodon.green]

@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.

@ticho @peterdutoit west ll burn all ground oil in no time. They all are devil.. And who knows earth ll survive or not for that long

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