We haven't yet built anywhere near enough solar, wind, or nuclear.

As you say, the additional capacity from new-built non-CO2 energy sources is barely keeping up with increased demand.

Obviously a reduction of consumption would help tremendously but this discussion is about the amount of non-CO2 energy we are generating and I think anyone would agree that so far it is not anywhere near enough.

Much more renewable energy needs to be built out quickly.

Well for sure its a challenge but what is the alternative?? honest.abe Jul 2023 #8

The alternative is to lower demand Random Boomer Jul 2023 #10

Yes, that would be great but I dont see it happening. honest.abe Jul 2023 #15
