Emil Möller

In his PhD research Emil Möller has come to the conclusion that making our planet a better place for all children of all species of all times is simple. When we truly desire to do so.

With many real life examples and enthusiasm green talk is distinguished from green walk.
As a distinguishing tool an avant garde type of thinking in Transition management is used. Combining thinking, experiencing and walking. Spoiler: overridingly, current problems in the economic, political and religious domain are approached in a fundamentalist way. This is ineffective, since we have commonly shared blind spot.
The way that does work will be uncomfortable for many, while others will offer a sigh in relief.

Case study: the electric car (EV)
Off late the potential of EV's for reducing emissions and oil dependence is increasingly recognised.

1. Since there are few EV's on offer, introduction of EV's is sluggish, to say the least.
2. Many plans are drafted for large scale introduction of EV's, but these all remain too scattered. Effective progress is not being made.
3. 'Effective progress' is possible, when we join forces (forces inside, as well as outside).
4. When we don't join forces, parties that now make money with traditional cars, as well as oil and coal and nuclear power plants and related industries, will prevent fast introduction of clean cars and clean power.
5. With visionary, pro active coordination and regulatory frameworks the Netherlands can take on a global leading role in the EV domain .
6. This will come about when the Dutch are able to enact a war-type national government.
7. All that's required for point 6 is available now. Through his field research the speaker knows exactly how.
8. Since large scale introduction of EV's has the potential large as well as small scale sustainable energy production, the coming refurbishment and expansion of EU-power plants (at 1,2 trillion euro) can be skipped.
9. Through their role as energy buffers EV's can become a substantial part of a sustainable energy infrastructure (buffering peaks in power production, delivering at peak demand; earning cash for EV-owners).
10. Met de genoemde zaken/oorlogsstijl aanpak is geschetste mogelijk, ook binnen de 10 jaar die klimaatwetenschappers ons geven voordat het klimaat veel meer slachtoffers gaat maken.
11. With the aforementioned war-like approach this scenario is feasible within the time allotted to us by the community of climate scientists before climate change starts making much more casualties.
12. With a coordinated approach of transport, mobility and energy we seduce other regions to follow this scenario. Regions where a middle class is realising a better and thus more energy intense life.
13. This effectively reduces the global reduction of fossil fuels. At the same time allowing the Dutch to sell their expertise to those regions.
14. Then we realise the final goal from the Cradle to Cradle line of thought: a solar powered circular economy.
15. This effectively addresses all crises we now so desperately try to address separately: economy, depletion of cheap fossil fuels, raw materials, water, poverty, emissions, conflict due to migrations, urbanisation, governance, etc.
