The halting of climate change requires that fossil fuels be replaced; the CO2 must be stopped from entering the atmosphere. The consensus is to build wind and solar farms to generate electricity instead of using fossil fuels. Since renewables are intermittent, there must be some way to store and supply electricity when renewables are not

From FB reply William Linn Buchanan Stop being a shill for the nuclear power industry. In the West the new nuclear power construction industry is no longer able to compete with renewables plus storage on a cost pre kWh basis. That’s what utilities use to make decisions on what to purchase for the grids. Utilities

From comment on Matt Ferrel’s Undecided The technologies for green energy and hydrogen are all there. The biggest issue is to get governments to make enough incentives to get companies to switch over to renewables plus storage. Tony Seba (in his YouTube videos) has stated that the country needs to build wind and solar plus

Rep. Rodney Davis (R – Illinois) said, (quoted from interview with Judy Woodruff on PBS Newshour, 2021 April 1, at about 22:00 point) “The problem is, we still have to have base load generating capacity. That means nuclear facilities that actually have zero emission just like the one in Clinton, Illinois. We also make sure

Spain will close most of the coal fired power plants within a year. Plans to stop fossil fuel subsidies and ban new extraction. https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2020/nov/11/climate-heroes-the-countries-pioneering-a-green-future This is what all countries including the US should be doing.
This 4.7 min. TED Talk Youtube video dispels the myth that solar and wind can’t do the job without “base load” power. Amory Lovins is with the US NREL, and is an authority on this subject. He also states that renewables are less expensive than fossil or nuclear power. https://youtu.be/Oo8iEL6SqgI
For the sake of the world, everyone must take climate change seriously. The future of the world depends on it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/science-environment-54347878 It’s very important that China is totally committed to end climate change.
I’ve been paying a lot more attention to my blog and especially with adding the links to the articles and books I’ve been reading. I have made investments in companies that see the future is away from fossil fuels and towards all renewables. And the companies that are going to produce green hydrogen to use

Wow, can you believe this? Looks like BP has gone green and is planning for a fossil fuel free future. 50 GW is the same as 50 full size power plants. Now if the other major oil companies will do the same… << BP Aims to Build 50GW of Renewables by 2030, Cut Fossil Fuel

The case for new and much of the existing coal power generation, is both environmentally and economically unjustifiable,” said the director-general of IRENA, Francesco La Camera, commenting on the agency’s latest report. “Renewable energy is increasingly the cheapest source
