How about nuclear power? It's the most viable energy source that we have. It doesn't emit carbon. It could power the world.
Funny that the people who get labeled "climate deniers" are also the most pro-nuclear, while the loud environmentalists are the most anti-nuclear.
I frankly don't give a damn what they believe or don't believe, if they're going to solve the problem anyway.
- xxpor 10y agoPutting a nuclear reactor in every car and truck sounds like a great idea!
- marcoperaza 10y ago1. If fossil fuel use is reduced to cars/trucks, the problem is largely solved. In the US, only 26% of emissions come from transportation.[1] 2. Electric cars will make this irrelevant, since they'll draw their power from the grid. In the meantime, ICEs/hybrids are becoming increasingly efficient.

- fma 10y agoNuclear would solve a lot of problem if we are able to overcome power transmission issue. Not everyone wants a nuclear power plant anywhere near them. But oil would still be used for plastics, transportation (airplanes, tankers), heating, etc...
