Reply #87: Renewables can do it and the technology exists [View All]

The technology exists with renewables.

With changes in consumption, design, retrofitting, light rail using hydrogen for mass transit and shipping on heavy rail it is certainly possible within our lifteimes to impkement total clean energy without any nukes or burning of dirty coal.

Retrofitting nuke plants to natural gas can work too as an interim solution.

You know I have posted lnks to the sudies that show that this can be done.

But if we subsidize nukes, oil and coal via legislation and failure to legislate (mission standards etc) and we spend massive amounts on dangerous and econoically futlie and damaging technologies like nuclear, we will not have the resoruces to develop and build the renewable components of the energy ystems.

Localized grids are needed as well in suburbs and rural areas (solar/wind/ geothermal).

Producing energy does NOT require nuclear power OR coal.

Producing ENOUGH means putting our resources and planning into that as a goal.

These are NOT pipe dreams, at all.

They are reality.
