We could have bought ourselves another decade by dealing with coal sooner
- giantg2 5y agoEven if we eliminate coal, there's still too many people and too much consumption.
- melling 5y agoThe idea was to buy another decade or so to let technology advance, etc Coal is extremely bad for CO2 emissions, and we already have options
- giantg2 5y agoI think it's a little late to be able to buy that kind of time. Maybe if that was implemented a decade ago. It seems many of the options are still small scale experiments or face energy storage issues... or have social issues like nuclear.
- melling 5y agoYes, a decade from now, we'll need an even bigger miracle.
