Electric Cars Alone Won’t Save Us. Here’s What Will
Electric cars alone won't save us. Here’s what will.
Climate change is happening quickly, and its impacts are often not fully understood.
A few years ago, if you’d mentioned climate change to me, I’d have told you to piss off.
Today, climate change is one of the most complex and urgent global problems facing humanity, and tackling it requires collective action; without cooperation, efforts to reduce its effects might fail.
Many people remain unaware of climate change's root causes. While scientific consensus confirms human activity (anthropogenic)—particularly fossil fuel consumption—as the primary driver, public understanding often lacks nuance on this critical issue.
It is important to note that, while carbon is a significant emission, it is not the only substance released into the atmosphere; however, it is the most well-known due to its prevalence and impact.
You see, other gases, such as nitrous oxide (N₂O) and methane (CH₄), are also emitted into the atmosphere. Notably, methane and other gases have shorter atmospheric lifespans compared to carbon dioxide (CO₂), which can remain in the atmosphere for extended periods.
For instance, a single-degree increase in atmospheric carbon may take up to ten years to be absorbed or dissipated.
In contrast, methane and similar gases tend to have shorter durations in the atmosphere.
Today, as I apply these concepts to real-world energy challenges, I see exactly why I trusted my instinct to preserve my RMIT notes. That carefully curated knowledge has become more than just a reference—it’s now a living resource that continually sharpens my understanding of foundational principles and their evolving applications.
Plus, spending more than AUD 100,000 gives me a strong incentive to retain as much knowledge as practically possible; who wouldn’t? And yes, that includes my hardcover notes. Because I single-handedly wrote the solutions to these wicked problems with my hands.
This knowledge is currently essential for the development of our renewable energy companies, ePower Australia and ePower Nigeria.
And in case you're new to my mindf*ck, I'm a Nigerian living in Australia and building for the world.
Recently, fate led me to a bookstore where I became intrigued by Bill Gates' book "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster." Although initially hesitant, I decided to purchase it anyway, along with another book by Richard Branson on "lessons not taught in business schools."
As I write this, immersed in Bill Gates’ insights on climate change, I’m transported back to my RMIT days—studying urban planning and environment, grappling with tuition fees so staggering they still unsettle me. Yet that very investment is why I’ve held onto every note, every textbook, and tutors' names, like sacred texts.
They’re not just relics of the past, but proof that knowledge, no matter how costly, compounds in value over time. I convinced myself.
Yes, I feel a deep personal connection to environmental preservation and am wholly committed to safeguarding it. Every bird in flight, every leaf on a tree, and every creature that shares this planet with us deserves not only our respect but also our unwavering protection.
Nothing grates more than unboxing a disappointingly small Big Mac from its absurdly oversized packaging. The hypocrisy is staggering—corporations virtue-signalling about 'sustainability' while drowning our planet in pointless plastic.
This isn't just fast food—it's fast-track environmental destruction served with a side of greenwashed lies. Our planet deserves better than performative eco-gestures from polluters profiting from waste and preaching "recycling."
Much like complex systemic issues—cancer among them—climate change often progresses imperceptibly, manifesting catastrophic consequences only once critical thresholds are crossed.
The urgency of the climate crisis highlights the need for sustained action and awareness.
This note is brief—simply to share what we’re building. And we're not building this for the sole purpose of profitability. F*ck no!
Follow us for too long, and you'll uncover our plans for Nigeria and its citizens.
We’re pioneering a lifestyle that works for you, for us, and for the environment we live in.
Our mission? To safeguard both people and the planet in which we live, work, and play.
We're pioneering a revolutionary "self-powered energy hub" that delivers true energy independence—putting complete power control literally in your hands.
While the world struggles to transition to clean energy, we're making energy sovereignty a reality today.
This is ePower—energy reclaimed for the people, by the people.
You see, humans already have all the resources needed to thrive. Yet, trapped in artificial systems, we’ve forgotten what we truly own—the power of the sun, the wind, etc.—and cling to what we don’t.
Now imagine this: You hopped into your home after a long day. The lights turn on instantly—no hesitation, no worries.
The thought of blackouts or surprise energy bills never even crosses your mind any longer. Easy as. The good life.
This is the future we are building...
With ePower Australia and beyond, you're no longer at the mercy of unstable grids or corporate energy brokers.
You hold the power—literally.
Our cutting-edge energy storage, engineered right here in Melbourne, gives you uninterrupted, clean electricity that works when you need it, how you need it.
We're not just changing how power works—we're changing who controls it.
Welcome to ePower Australia.
Welcome to energy that answers to you.
Thank you for reading this.
