The war against renewable energy

[sdfc]

They will soon hopefully. Offshore wind is the next big thing.

Soon is very optimistic. Decarbonising energy is going to be a huge undertaking, with much of the world trying to do it at the same time.

We're massively behind most countries and the government has done hardly anything. It's the private sector doing it. Lib/Nat does what the fossil fuel lobby says and Labour do what the fossul fuel unions say.

We are behind but almost all countries are behind the net zero target. The infrastructure to meet it will be going up all at the same time. There's a bucketload of wind and solar waiting to be connected to the grid in the US, UK and EU.

We are certainly not behind in rooftop solar take up. I know it’s unfashionable to praise ourselves.

No that's fine with a renewable power source.

That would be ok if the grounds had their own renewable energy and batteries.

Either or, to make renewables needs emissions to make them.

We are amoungst the worst in the world in all measurements. That includes per capita use , exports, electric cars. We are an International disgrace by any measure.

That's a coal lobby distraction argument though. Renewables use much much less.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Not utopian, it's called common sense. Common sense to stop an impending disaster . There's nothing utopian about cheaper power prices that don't emmitt massive anounts of carbon.

Yeah you're not talking about cheaper power though.

You're suggesting that somehow the AFL can have influence over the masses to make a collective radical lifestyle shift for the purposes of positive climate change.

It's a ludicrous position, not surprised that you think this way though.

Coal lobby, lol. Like medicines, you need to emit pollution to make renewable energy. Something you don't wanna talk about.

To manufacture ANYTHING, like the computer / phone you're using now, you need to emit pollution.

That's not lobbying for coal, that's just stating a fact.

I think I'll cease discussion with you on this mate, you're obviously a passionate irrational progressive that can't hold logical conversation.

At least this conversation is happening in the right thread now.
