The pandemic has not yet peaked, and people are already asking what the world will be like after it is over. That’s natural. The restrictions will hopefully end one day, but will life be the same as we were used to?
We can say with almost certainty that it won’t. So, when we wake up one day…
I think of myself as someone who tries to see life in its natural context, including by looking beyond the horizon of our planet – when I travel through space with a telescope, to the Sun and beyond, almost to infinity. When I come back down to Earth and imagine that something as tiny as the coronavirus is turning our lives upside down, I realise that we still lack some basic respect for nature.
As an investor in renewable resources, of course, I have long supported all sensible activities that lead to friendlier treatment of our planet. But there are plenty of other variables and interests in politics, so it is logical that pushing sustainable technologies “by force” provokes resistance. I am convinced that the true revolution – not only in caring for energy – will come when pressure is applied, or to put it in economic terms, with demand, from the general public, consumers.
