In CA, the state wants to replace nuclear power plants with natural gas. That’s many times more carbon emission than forcing some number of new homes to be built with electric ranges.
As always, some sacrifice from regular people is the first and only option, even when it is a tiny fraction of what would be a significant improvement.
I could cut down watering my garden, until everything was dead, for a year, and it would be negated by the water one almond tree drew in our San Juaquin valley.
I get that people like to do things they feel are helping, even a little. Just know that other people are laughing all the way to the bank.
- raffraffraff 5y agoThere's something going very badly wrong when a state or country that decides to decommission existing nuclear to replace it with any mix of sources that includes fossil fuels. That said, I'm still in favour of keeping gas stoves as long as the co2 output is small. I also think that incinerating plastics and generating electricity from the heat is the best way to deal with "the plastic problem".
