- quickthrower2 3y agoIf you eat renewable things, like fruit and veg, I hear it can be quite healthy.
- avgcorrection 3y agoAvoid things grown from synthetic fertilizer though.
- defrost 3y agoMore sensibly, avoid sythetic fertilizers made using hydrogen from natural gas, ammonia from hydrogen from natural gas, and energy from new renewable resources. Look to the expansion of actually green hydrogen to power and drive the fertilizer trade and look to reducing transport costs for Phosporus, Potossium, and the final end product while electrifying the mining industry.
- sshine 3y agoAre cows renewable?
- quickthrower2 3y agoI guess they could be. They existed before we started extracting fossil fuels.
- coldtea 3y agoNo, it would be enough if factories, cars, heating, public infrastructure, etc, was too. And, and it's a big "and", if those renewables themselves weren't just feasible because of subsidies (like how, in non-renewables, nuclear is also uncompetitive when considering the whole course of life of a factory and not just the bare production) or built/maintained/etc through ample use of fossil fuels.
- nicoburns 3y ago> if those renewables themselves weren't just feasible because of subsidies They would also be feasible if fossil fuels were paying for their environmental costs.
- coldtea 3y agoSure, and I'm all for it. But probably the "current way of life" and fixation of "growth" wouldn't be feasible then - with or without renewables on the side. Which I'm also all for it - for degrowth to be exact.
