I am waiting every day. I check when I wake up to see if it happened overnight. A catastrophic explosion, a nuclear attack, an asteroid hitting the Earth. The collapse of our infastructure. People shooting each other in the street for no reason. No internet, no electricity, no health care. Plunging birth rates. A pandemic more deadly than the last and no lessons learned.
And then, against my better judgement, hope somehow slips through. More and more solar and wind power contributing to the electric grid, in our state, in our country, in the world. Occasional outbursts of bravery by judges, individual citizens, and elected officials. Increased demand for an electric car that seats 8 passengers. A baby smiling and learning to talk. (Do not tell him of your fears.)
Maybe today is not the day the world will come crashing down.
