Possibilist

You don’t have to be a blind optimist. Instead, you can choose to be a clear-eyed possibilist. Like the late great Hans Rosling, founder of Gapminder Foundation and author of Factfulness, a possibilist believes that a better future is possible – and that we need to work hard to make it happen. For example, a new University of California, Berkeley report finds that it’s possible for the US to reach 70% renewable electricity by 2030 and 90% by 2035. Since 2010, the cost of utility-scale solar power has dropped 82% and onshore wind by 39%. What is possible in your future?
