- Retric 6y agoElectric cars are hardly a unproven technology at this point. Solar panels are significantly cheaper than fossil fuels on their own and cost less than nuclear when backed up by batteries. For perspective the fuel use on a natural gas generator on it’s own costs twice that of a solar panel. The economics of single axis solar tracking is more expensive than fixed solar panels, but far cheaper than battery storage. They have a huge impact on the duck curve. Now, the rate of which this stuff comes one line is an issue. But, any change of this magnitude takes time.
- bsenftner 6y agoYou're not responding to my disagreement that all we need to do is stop using gas stoves.
- Retric 6y agoThat’s not the only change required, it’s the only case where the alternative has a lifestyle impact. Feel free to find something else that directly requires the burning of fossil fuels without any equivalent option. I can’t defend an argument that doesn’t exist. Trying to name every single things people do and say no that doesn’t need fossil fuels either is ridiculous. But hey you could visit the moon without them that should reasonably suggest alternatives for all forms of transportation. Energy generation and manufacturing has alternatives, what more do you want?
