THIS! People seem to forget basic physics sometimes.
Any source of free, unlimited "clean" energy would be an environmental catastrophe because energy used is released into the atmosphere as heat.
We need sources that *capture* energy already in the environment, like solar, wind and similar.
- goodpoint 3y agoSilent downvotes do very little.
- acidburnNSA 3y agoSee other replies above. Thermal energy emissions pale in utter insignificance compared to the solar heat flux. What matters is things that control what happens with that solar heat flux, aka greenhouse gasses.
