the Brits on Coal
the US rose on Oil

- margalabargala 10mo ago> my worry is can renewables be quickly brought online to power industry / power hungry Data Centers etc at a reasonable cost I mean, clearly the answer is yes. The problem is political, not economic.
- zingar 10mo agoCould you spell out the “clearly yes” part of this? I’d love it to be true but even more than that I’d like to have an answer to the climate sceptics.
- margalabargala 9mo agoWe're commenting on an article that discusses how quickly and cheaply large scale renewables can be brought online.
- kiba 10mo agoEveryone's rising on renewables. Renewable energy is just a victim of a heavily polarizing political atmosphere.
- tim333 10mo agoChina did most of its rising on fossil fuels. I think they are fairly pragmatic as to what to use.
- detritus 10mo agoBut now their ascendance will be largely built on renewables which, due to our ineptitude here in the west, we've handed them the ball. Good luck to them, because someone has to.
