Asking the Right Questions to Swiftly Achieve 100% Renewable Energy

If you ask the wrong questions, of course, you get the wrong answers. We find in design it’s much more important and difficult to ask the right questions. Once you do that, the right answer becomes obvious.

An earlier article in this series – What and How Questions for Swiftly Achieving 100% Renewable Energy – showed how you can ask two simple questions to bring a group of decision-makers into consensus on wanting to create a decision-making process for swiftly achieving 100% renewable energy.

What might a decision-making process for swiftly achieving 100% renewable energy look like?

A decision-making process for swiftly achieving 100% renewable energy might look like decision-makers asking themselves, “What might right questions for swiftly achieving 100% renewable energy sound like?”

Here’s what Jonas Salk – discoverer of the polio vaccine – said about asking the right questions:

Solutions come through evolution. They come through asking the right questions, because the answers pre-exist. It is the questions that we must define and discover. You don’t invent the answer – you reveal the answer.

In other words, according to Jonas Salk, asking the right questions evolves a solution to a problem because asking the right questions reveals pre-existing answers from which the solution evolves.

Applying Jonas Salk’s asking-the-right-questions method to the problem of global warming, asking the right questions is how you evolve a solution that looks like a decision-making process for swiftly achieving 100% renewable energy and reversing global warming.

If asking right questions is how you reveal a pre-existing answer to a question like, “What might a decision-making process for swiftly achieving 100% renewable energy look like?” then an initial right question to ask might sound like, “What might right questions for swiftly achieving 100% renewable energy sound like?”

According to Jonas Salk, a right question might sound like a question that reveals (or suggests or contains) its own pre-existing answer.

If the question, “What might right questions for swiftly achieving 100% renewable energy sound like?” is itself a right question, then pre-existing answers revealed by that right question might sound like these right questions:

A first right question might sound like, “What might achieving 100% renewable energy look like?”

“What might achieving 100% renewable energy look like?” might sound like a right question because achieving 100% renewable energy might look like a series of actions to swiftly achieve 100% renewable energy.

A second right question might sound like, “What might a decision for achieving 100% renewable energy look like?”

“What might a decision for achieving 100% renewable energy look like?” might sound like a right question because achieving 100% renewable energy might look like a series of decisionsto take a series of actionsto swiftly achieve 100% renewable energy.

A third right question might sound like, “What might a decision-making process for achieving 100% renewable energy look like?”

“What might a decision-making process for achieving 100% renewable energy look like?” might sound like a right question because achieving 100% renewable energy might look like a decision-making processto make a series of decisions to take a series of actionsto swiftly achieve 100% renewable energy.

A fourth right question might sound like, “What might swiftly achieving 100% renewable energy look like?”

“What might swiftly achieving 100% renewable energy look like?” might sound like a right question because swiftly achieving 100% renewable energy might look like a decision-making process to swiftly make a series of decisions to swiftly take a series of actions to swiftly achieve 100% renewable energy (and reverse global warming).
