This is why we need to do a complete world phase out of fossil fuels, and be 100% renewable by 2040. It can be done. It's affordable, there's more than enough energy to do it, and plus, we have a cleaner world. We can even do it without nuclear OR biomass. Wind, water, solar, and geothermal would be enough. Also, wind water solar and geothermal energy is spread out throughout the world, so there isn't the problem of it all being in one place. The problem is that the Republicans seem to be in denial about science because of the whole fact that it will hurt their precious oil and coal industries.
And destroy millions of livelihoods, and wreck the economy.
The economy is of a considerably more ephemeral nature than the planet that sustains it. I doubt there's any option that
wouldn't destroy millions of livelihoods and wreck the economy. It's just a question of what else gets wrecked.
