Al Gore Nails It Again — This Is Where We Are - CleanTechnica

In a recent StrictlyVC Download podcast, Al Gore emphasized both optimism and concern regarding the global energy transition and climate crisis. He highlighted the steady and accelerating progress of clean technologies, which are becoming cheaper, more effective, and increasingly competitive against fossil fuels. Gore asserted that the transition away from fossil fuels is unstoppable, driven by favorable technology, economics, deployment models, and public opinion. However, he cautioned that the critical question remains whether this transition will happen quickly enough to avoid severe climate tipping points, citing a recent alarming report about the absence of the Humboldt Current upwelling, which is vital to marine ecosystems. Gore referenced Dornbusch’s Law, which suggests that change often takes longer than expected initially but then happens rapidly once a tipping point is reached. He believes we have now crossed that point with clean technology, though acceleration is still needed to outpace the worsening effects of climate change. The article underscores that while the clean energy revolution is well underway and irreversible, the race against time
