Am I correct in assuming that energy use, period, is the problem?
I would love to see how many KWH per person on the entire planet are generated every year by legit clean sources.
Solving global warming = destroying life as we know it.
- dTal 5y agoNo, you aren't correct. Most energy, globally, is indeed generated in ways that are not environmentally friendly - but that's not an axiom. It's entirely possible to build a house with all the modern conveniences that's not even connected to the power grid. Solar packs a surprising punch - a panel 2.5m square, in full sunlight, can run a microwave.
- spfzero 5y agoNo, because pollution (CO2, etc.) is the problem. Energy use would be irrelevant if it did not harm the environment.

- megaman821 5y agoNo, the Earth reflects more waste energy back into space in a few minutes than we use all day. Nearly unlimited renewable energy is available with today's technology but there are political and economic problems to solve first before that can become a reality.
