The underlying core principle is false. Carbon (CO2) is NOT a pollutant, certainly not in the amounts we emit via industry and agriculture.
To state otherwise is bad science and/or a lie.
The greenies and lunatic Left will never accept nuclear power at the level needed. The Hollywood fed overreaction to three mile island may have doomed humanity to their climate change horror. Gotta love the irony?
They want to cram most of the population into congested urban centers. The bulk of the country can become a vast field of solar panels.
Decarbonizing the Grid Means Using a Lot More Land to Produce Electricity And The Gradual De-industrialization of America.
Prognosis: As energy costs rise, food become too expensive to buy. Food riots begin; the country becomes ungovernable, except by brute force; America returns to a feudal society and slavery.
Not if nuclear powerplants are built...
And the stupidity continues. Ask the people in north TX how those worked out for them. How do you disposed of a 60' fiberglass blade when stress fractures appear? Where are you going to get the rare earth minerals for the batteries for storage when it's dark and the wind speed can't turn the turbine? Completely stupid.
So it's basically a lose-lose proposition.
In fact the land your house sits on will likely be needed. You need to give up your car and move to an apt where you can experience diversity in all its glory.
I’ll never forget Great Adventure Park in New Jersey cut down 20 acres of trees to put up solar panels. Friggen retards.
Decarbonizing the grid.......... what a poor use of words. What an ignorant writer
The grid is not carbonized. The grid is electrified. The grid is aluminum and copper wires running between transformers
What makes no sense to me is when they plant solar panels on productive agricultural land?
There are millions of acres of non-productive desert in the USA. So why not plant solar panels on these acres?
If we convert to wind and solar vs. nuclear as an alternative to coal, etc. - if we were to have a “year without a summer” from a natural disaster blotting out the amount of sunlight, we would be in very serious trouble...whereas with nuclear, quality of life could be more maintained with a reliable power source.
Yup....it used to be Open Spaces were given tax breaks. Now, the Towns want the income from these farmlands...and voila...we’re killing them forever with Solar Farms.
Windmills enough to power the continental US would need an area slightly larger than the state of Nevada. And all that land area becomes uninhabitable because of the noise from the spinning rotor blades and the subsonic ‘thrum’ the windmill induces into the ground.
Enough nuclear power plants to power the continental US all could be fit inside Dallas County. And human people still could live alongside them.
I read that to replace the electricity demand of New York City it would take a wind farm the size of Connecticut.
We just have to tell our friends in Hartford and Stamford to move so NYC can go green. Of course, if the wind is not blowing well on any day, we probably need part of New Jersey as a backup.
Not if we promote nuclear power.
The ruling class is preparing a regimen of extermination. The environmental line is just a ploy. They are ployers.
These are the same ahole researchers who want to suck carbon out of the atmosphere, I guess they forgot the we are carbon based life
‘Decarbonizing’ the power grid means destabilizing the power grid. No, the green communists won’t go for nuclear; it’s too reliable and too environmentally friendly. That’s the last thing they want. An unstable and unreliable grid for us peons is exactly what they want.
