Environment & Energy

Even if there was the will and the resources to do so!

The fact is, renewables are the only hope to get carbon emissions on a downward trend and I’ll point out that the CO2 levels measured at Moana Loa would be significantly higher without the renewables we do have.

Adoption of disruptive technology takes time but renewables are being added to the global power mix at a faster rate than at any previous time and that rate is accelerating. China’s emissions have essentially plateaued, years earlier than expected, thanks to their investments in wind and solar.

Finally, wind and solar are nuclear power. They are produced by capturing energy from that giant fusion reactor at the heart of the solar system and the amount of energy from that source that reaches the Earth’s surface is several orders of magnitude larger than any other source of energy. It is ridiculous, on its face, to claim that the planet cannot be powered largely by renewables.
