So guys, when did /sci/ get so bad?
also, what is the most viable alternative to fossil fules?

>> No.3467349

/sci/ is getting shittier and shittier with more and more people that still don't know about alternatives for fissil fuels

>> No.3467350

YOU are the reason, why /sci/ is so bad.
Instead of real science you post trolling bullshit.
You know exactly that there is no precise scientific answer to your question.
All you wanna see is a shitstorm of opinions.

>> No.3467354

/sci/ was always bad, and we'll need all the fossil-fuel alternatives we can get. There is no cure-all.

I like solar thermal power though. And nuclear goes without saying. Fusion would be great, but it's always 50 years away.

LFTR, according to /sci/

that and unicorn farts

Why switch from fossil fuels? the market shows 100 dollars a barrel is an acceptable price, and we can make oil for less than 100 dollars a barrel.

>general pollution

Pretty good reasons to make the switch, and the sooner we do it, the less painful peak oil will be

Every price is "acceptable" when you're addicted to something.

>climate change
making oil will reduce atmospheric co2 levels
>energy security
by making oil we guarantee a steady level, that can be scaled as need increases
>peak oil/gas/coal
there is no peak until we run out of land. 5% of the land currently used for corn ethanol would supply the worlds entire current power needs.
>general pollution
oil production would remove pollutants from the atmosphere

Nuclear Power,
All we need is nuclear power.
INB4 its not safe! someone think about the children!
More safe that oil.
