There is a plethora of alternatives. Synthetic fuels and nuclear energy are well established. bio-fuels is another alternative (though it might not scale).

- sampo 4y ago> Synthetic fuels and nuclear energy are well established. Yes, and they reduce CO2 emissions.
- madsbuch 4y agoHow? A kg of fuel should have roughly the same CO2 emission regardless of how it is produced? The thing it that synthetic fuels are cyclic. We collect the emitted CO2 again.
- sampo 4y ago> How? Like this: > The thing it that synthetic fuels are cyclic. We collect the emitted CO2 again.
- madsbuch 4y agoYes, you are focusing on the entire life cycle. This is a bad argument, as you can employ the same argument with fossil fuels. Fuels emit CO2. we can produce fuels by sequestration.
- sampo 4y ago> as you can employ the same argument with fossil fuels No you can't. "Let's burn oil/gas/coal and then re-capture all the CO2 back" is not something that you can do feasibly, economically, and at scale.
