Decentralization of the power grid. Widespread employment of all alternative energies including nuclear. The ability for any house to generate their own electricity with wind and solar and sell the excess back to the grid.

This would be extremely expensive. Like outrageously...

It's already happening. Just needs to happen a bit faster.

The French just started building the first Fusion power plant... France beat us.

France is way ahead of us on a bunch of things, especially nuclear power.



France stuck with their nuclear options and expanded them. "Environmentalists" in the US essentially froze our nuclear programs decades ago due to panic about radiation (which is much less of an issue these days--we're much better at recycling/refining spent fuel now).

As for fusion.. there are experiments going on in California I'm aware of, but nobody's managed to make a continuous "creates more energy than making fusion costs to start" reactor. Last I heard, the Lawrence Livermore lab in California managed a singular reaction (which requires a significant cooldown time) that actually broke even energy-wise, which is a major accomplishment.

Incidentally, there's a giant fusion reactor up in the sky already.

I think that pie graph is slightly misleading. Yes that's where our greenhouse gases are coming from but even according to the EPA most of the pollution from industry comes from burning fossil fuels for energy and most of the pollution from residential and commercial comes from burning fossil fuels for heat.

So, really, energy production and vehicles account for around 80% of the greenhouse gases in this country. I guess the figure I read earlier just referred to pollution in general.

I wrote my own damn script.

Honestly? In the short term, the smartest answer is probably nuclear power

Too bad the left has a lot of resistance against nuclear power ... ironically.

Of course they did we are too busy being stupid.

France also has a population 1/6th of ours. Makes it easy to supplement at less people. HODOR!

This guy acts like sea levels claiming our liberal coasts would be a bad thing. Gonna do my part and go burn a tire. Back in a bit.

All the liberals would move inland and do a much quicker job of assimilating you country bumpkuses.
