If you look at yhe numbers 40% of the renewables or 3% of the total are burned to generate power. If the goal is CO2 reduction, they should not be in the “Net Zero” calculation.
It is very doubtful that these renewables produce less CO2 per unit of energy than natural gas, of which we have an abundance. Renewable fuels are pointless as ways to reduce CO2.
So the real number for combustible fuels used to generate power is 82%, and if cost was the only method of selection, these green fuels would be sharply reduced.
The economics for power generation favor natural gas, which is why the environmentalists resist every gas pipeline proposal.
To win he climate debate there must be a Boogieman
CO2 is the designated Boogieman. Virtually everybody has heard the term and almost no one knows what it is or for that matter does. If there was the diet purity demanded, insisted upon, by Vegans, there should be no Coke or Pepsi or Mountain Dew or Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi allowed to be sold. There should be no beer. There should be no wine or vodka or whiskey.
The way to end the climate change debate is to end the climate changers
