Well the idea is that the government will either ruin oil industry or promote innovation. But the latter is natural obviously anyone with an brain can see this whole climate issue as a new gold rush.

Because it's a social issue not an issue of technology, we could easily transition to carbon free energy sources incredibly quickly, using existing tech but it won't make the right people money so we don't. If letting elected officials know this is unacceptable if they want reelected can change policy it's by far the most effective course of action for any individual.

completely socializing the grid in the US to allow the adoption of nuclear power is a pretty good idea. Though based on current economics 80% renewable 20% nuclear would be considerably cost effective and could be deployed considerably faster.

In your dreams, most expensive would just be to socialize the grid and go full nuclear. Long range transmission infrastructure combined with wind and solar overcapacity and storage, combined with a small number of reactors would be even faster and cheaper. Huge EV subsidies on the condition they be used for vehicle to grid is another way to solve the ittermittancy issue overnight.

Boomers aren't listening, yet they control the world. This issue is not new, but it seems like no matter how much we continually talk about it, no matter how imminent it seems, nobody who matters listens. I would unironically support mass eradication of climate deniers, it's come to the point of it's either remove them forcefully, or we'll all go down. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem like it's going to happen, we're pretty much guaranteed to quadruple the safe estimates for temperature increase in terms of emission. Expect the world to literally go to hell, or at least don't be surprised.

I'm working my way out, it's not easy to effectively commit to this society, not being more garbage after commitment than you ware before...

It's actually just a symptom of a larger problem infesting >society. The people who go out on such protests lack any kind of real purpose in life. They're young, supposedly at the "beginning of their adult lives" but still they have no idea what to do in the future. Blocking a football game or a street is just a way for them to feel like they matter, like their lives actually amount to something when in reality they really don't. How will preventing some wagies from going to work help the climate? How will stopping a football game?
It's empty, feel-good activism, basically a coping mechanism keep them from going insane/an heroing.
Of course, this doesn't only happen with people on the left side. The recent surge in /pol/tardism is basically the same thing.

People do just for money, and that is the problem. Doing without a purpose.

actually solar is perfect for heavy industries as peak production lines up perfectly with peak working hours. It's baseload which is expensive for solar but there's plenty of ways around it. Personally I think the best option is pushing vehicle to grid really hard through subsides as it's serves to eliminate two of the largest sources of emissions in one move.

[Anonymous No.11174293]

>>11174266
Yes, the load curve is nice I agree, but sadly it isn't reliable, you can't base production on a very variable supply and you need a lot (a LOT) of land to match nuclear energy density. Even more, ideally solar after 15 - 25 years max needs to be trashed and remade. You always need a baseload anyway, and you can only use hydro and/or nuclear (assuming we want to be carbon free).

Also, in my opinion increase production and use of batteries is a terrible idea and a straight road to even more pollution and conflicts. Imagine some nice reactors that in off hour you use for hydrogen production. Sweet.

[Anonymous No.11174298]

>>11174266
This is true
>>11174245
This is also true
Nuclear is the only option that can completely fill fossil fuel's part in powering our countries
Wind is too inconsistent and on top of that only specific locations tend to have the best wind for power - this means that the available wind power on the planet is fairly tiny compared to the power demands required.
Solar is a similar story. It only makes sense in areas with lots of sun, which is fine, but those areas are already populated with farm land, and solar is also subject to weather
Only nuclear has the power density and abundance to replace fossil fuel power in a realistic way
You could do similar with solar but you're going to take up way more land than a single nuclear plant, for the same amount of power
