"You are walking down your street. Your local newsletter just announced that
your community is now running on 100% renewable energy. You are thinking about
that as you walk – even though energy is largely invisible in our lives, you
can sense the changes.
Your street looks different. Seven years ago in 2023, only a few of your
neighbours had solar panels. You look up now and you can see solar panels on
your roof, on next door’s, on the house across the road – in fact on almost
every single roof.
Your street also sounds different. There’s Fred in his new electric ute. Isn’t
it quiet? Three of your neighbours in quick succession whizz past on electric
bikes, and you wave to each of them. The teen from next door passes you on her
electric scooter and you encourage her to slow down.
Your street smells different too. That whiff of exhaust you used to get when a
car passed you? – that’s a thing of the past. Buses and trucks? They also don’t
smell anymore.
But did I say 2030? That’s only seven years away. Could we really get to 100%
renewable energy by then?"
