The viable technological path is using less energy.
It's not just about CO2: a high energy society is a society that will hit other ecological limits.
I would add that centralized power production is an issue by itself, as it seems difficult now to avoid social and political instability. So unless we develop small scale fusion, which does not seem ideal (lots of disseminated nuclear waste in the form of activated reactor materials), fusion is not ideal.
- satanspastaroll 7y agoUnfortunately just using less energy will not happen by asking nicely, and as most do not want that, it will not happen. Instead we should focus on the things that are achievable, like increasing efficiency. >fusion is not ideal. Why does it have to be ideal? It should be sufficient. Anything is better than burning coal.
