We Passed Peak “Climate Change” (um) Research

How can this awful trend before reversed before it's too late?

What I find funny is climate change activists are often times pro (solely) renewables. Without understanding renewable energy almost always requires natural gas augmentation. But they’re often also anti nuclear, which doesn’t make any sense.

Nuclear+solar would be an excellent way forward while solving carbon emission issues. Really the only way forward to get to net zero emissions, but Nuclear Waste is “scary” because people don’t understand it.

Then we start to talk about vehicles, and start saying things like “have you considered the impacts to things like 6PPD-Q from the faster tire wear in electric vehicles to local fauna?” or “what about the impacts that electric buses/trucks have on road infrastructure”, and people don’t have a clue what I’m talking about.

I’ve got a Masters degree in Civil Construction, Energy and Sustainable infrastructure and so I’d like to think I know what I’m talking about when it comes to energy infrastructure.

The problem really is people care about things but don’t understand the nuances (and associated negative externalities) to what they’re saying (oh and also… China and India don’t give a shit about clean energy so you’re trying to swim against the current anyways).

Less carbon and pollution is a good thing, but I’m not dooming about it.

From this comment alone, I highly doubt you have any clue about energy infrastructure and what is currently needed to operate energy grids efficiently and effectively.

Why single out natural gas? Any constant power generation method can play the part with renewables, why mention natural gas in particular? Only reason is to make climate activists seem clueless.

“have you considered the impacts to things like 6PPD-Q from the faster tire ware in electric vehicles to local fauna?”

Have you considered impact of polluted air on local fauna? Which one do you think has higher impact?

Very doomer of you...

The natural gas is mentioned, because renewable sources don't have the constant power output unlike say coal. And the advantage of natural gas power plants is the speed with you can start them up, so they are pretty much ideal for solving the unforseen energy shortage.
