Reply to comment by Bugfrag in Russians did such a good job promoting renewable energy and electric vehicles this year. by darth_nadoma

Oh. So that's why after renewable energy being pushed forward, in this year there was lots of blackout's in USA. Damn, people. Its not green energy. Its green for your own country. But to make these solar panela and wind turbines you are making hell lots of easte as well. Also "green energy" cannot replace burning yet, its still a lot worse in efficiency. Maybe in future it'll be better, i hope. But not now.

Are you sending this from a coal mine? Might want to check on your oxygen supply friend

Nuclear, gas stations are the main source of energy yet on the planet. France has 6 of them for a reason.

Yeah but it gets billions of $$$, massive community outrage and million years to construct a single nuclear plant. So hell no, no politician can afford to waste their points on that

Nuclear plant takes 5 to 10 years to build. And in Russia we invented and already using a new process of reusing nuclear wastes again. So it's basically almost endless nuclear energy right now. And you forgetting one thing: in previous comment i told i hope green energy will bece truth. But its not green now at all. You just dont know some little things about it, and most of you dont care. Because its green for you, not for the place where its produced. For example parts of wind turbines made nano carbone texture, which cannot be recycled, so its just buried into the ground. But politics will not tell you that, because its just gives as much dollars as nuclear plants.

This argument does not make any sense at all.

The investments are being ramped up this year. Congress started to allocate the money, but that does not mean the infrastructure is completed.

If anything the blackouts indicates that a majority fossil fuel based approach is insufficient. Additional infrastructure is needed.

The main difference is that renewable waste is isolated during production but clean during its operational liferime. Waste generated for Coal, as a comparison, happened during (a) mining (b) refinement (c) transport (d) continuously while it's burned to generate energy.

>Also "green energy" cannot replace burning yet, its still a lot worse in efficiency. Maybe in future it'll be better, i hope. But not now.

Comparison between efficiency of the two technologies makes absolutely no sense

Efficiency of renewables is different compared to fossil fuel efficiency. For solar, if we don't capture the energy, the sun will still shine. For fossil file power plants, ~70% of the energy generated are burnt away/lost as heat.
