Their power plants must be magical. They can produce energy with no carbon . But I can see that, you got all these windbags running around saying electric is the way to go, that must be how they turn the windmills and produce the energy.
But realistically, You can't have zero emissions, it's not plausible. Everything we do from breathing on up, produces carbon emissions on one level or another. You build a nuke plant, you have the decayed fuel to deal with.(NOT carbon, so it's ok) Plus you have all your ancillary support. Water is as close to clean as it gets, but it's inconsistent , you have drought , you're not producing the same level . Wind, again , another boondoggle. Is that really paying off? Don't get me wrong, it's keeping guys working and making a good dime doing it. But is it paying off? Solar is no better, inefficient to support large scale infrastructure. What's left ? Coal , Natural gas and Nuclear. But in this country we regulate the industry to death. Look at coal . At least President Trump is trying to resuscitate the coal industry. here in the Midwest we have energy plants everywhere.Cali can't be having no ugly smokestacks poking up. But they sure consume some Megawatts . I'm just picking on them cuz they are the land of fruits and nuts. Can't build any refineries. But 3rd world countries can produce energy by any means necessary. Sometimes that means taking an old gas or diesel engine from a car here and hooking it to a generator or water pump over there, running continuously forever, till it dies. That's ok cuz that's how they do it, and who are we to tell them they can't? But other governments including our own tax, regulate and choke the life out of industry. That's why we are a non-producing nation. To make stuff, there's this ugly by product called carbon emissions. Nobody wants to deal with the far reaching hand of the EPA . As a result, industry suffers to the point they say, " FU@% it!!" and give up the game. I understand clean air is necessary and nice. I'm not trying to bring down acid rain and Armageddon. We gotta wise up. We can't let our country enter into treaties with other nations that would A) disarm us B) restrict our ability to prosper C) impose unfair restrictions/regulations. What do you all think
I'll get off my soap box now. Just needed to purge that .
