This is great news. Although disappointing how long it took. Still hoping for a nuclear resurgence. Between this and all the EV factories coming online in GA, GA will have quite the impact on climate goals.
- PM_me_your_math 4y agoWe will literally have a very minor impact even if the entire globe goes 100% renewable for everything from home heating, lighting, aircraft, cars, trucks, maritime transport and rail. And in order to do a fraction of that (say only USA goes 100% electric) we would need to significantly scale up strip mining and dig deep into the earth. All of that industrial activity takes more energy than wind and solar can provide. In fact, none of it is possible without natural gas, heavy fuel oil, and diesel.
