It's not clean, when it:
- emits CO2, far more than any other fuel per unit of heat/energy gained
- emits huge amounts of pollutants
We have better alternatives and we should use them - despite the fossil fuel giants which would like us to rather stick to their existing infrastructure and revenue streams.
Every bit of emission should be avoided, the atmosphere doesn't care about its source.
- ZeroGravitas 5y agoThis: > - emits CO2, far more than any other fuel per unit of heat/energy gained Is a fossil fuel industry talking point. It's implying that coal is better. (The 'fact", as sated is true, the implication is false though) But the rest of your comment is quite anti-fossil fuel. So, are you pretending to care about this or have you been hoodwinked by the coal barons?
- nopcode 5y ago> We have better alternatives and we should use them My country (Belgium) is preparing to build more biomass plants because it is presented as our only option. Unless your alternative is rolling blackouts, very keen to understand what we're missing.
