No point in talking about the past. What is the best way forward today?
Investment in renewables seems to be the cheapest and best way to reduce Carbon emissions.
- marcosdumay 2y agoThose governments that like to spend their billions in useless climate agreements could try doing something useful for a change and work out a carbon tax with punishment for defectors instead of putting random targets on a dart board. Electricity generation is kinda of a solved issue, but a tax would really speed-up industry electrification and grid storage. It could also come with subsides for open-air capture and synthetic fuels, or maybe some direct spending on those.
- oezi 2y agoWe are at a turning point for electricity generation because electricity will be so cheap and plentiful in a couple of years during summer and during the day that we likely don't know what to do with it.
- chrsw 2y agoI'm not infomred. Why will electricity be so cheap? Also, aren't renewables going to require a lot of batteries?
- marcosdumay 2y agoReread the GP, because you are claiming it says something that isn't there. And if some question still remains, take a look at the recent trends for photovoltaic panels.
- lainga 2y agoSure there is. Many of the politicians from the past are politicians today. One of them is president (for the next 5 months).
