100% renewables doesn’t equal zero-carbon energy, and the difference is growing
We need 70x more nuclear power than we have today, just replacing electricity with zero carbon power only fixes some of the problem, still have all the fossil fuel powered machines to replace.<p>If everyone in the world reduced the energy usage to 2kW (which if you switched to electric motors rather than fossil fuel would be quite easy) we'd need to build 3000 nuclear power stations per year for 10 years, to cover 50% of our total energy needs. Better start yesterday.
