Billions? Try several trillions. A transition to renewable energy is better and cheaper, and at any rate inevitable. The coal industry, global warming or not, is dying. Are you against the subsidies being withdrawn, that is keeping the industry alive in various places?Last edited by Leonhard; 05-27-2016, 05:08 PM.

As I've said before, I support coal for the poorest countries, who can easily transition to a coal power based industry, without having much impact on the net CO2 being sent out. Meanwhile the west and china can transition to a mixture of mostly solar power, with some wind. I also fully support the expanded use of nuclear power.

Take the total footprint of a nuclear powerplant, safezone and all. Cover the same area with solar panels and in some cases the yearly production is the same.

It seems likely that soon it will be just plain cheaper to use solar power than any other kind.
Now, of course, there's problems trying to run 90% of a national grid off solar power, because its output fluctuates too much, and power storage technology has not seen the sort of revolutionary and dramatic improvements that solar cells have. But overall it really wouldn't surprise me if in 20 years, most new houses were built with solar panels on the roof as their primary source of power.Last edited by Starlight; 05-27-2016, 07:36 PM."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
