The Big Misconception About Clean Energy

This makes no sense. This "clean" energy... It's clean because we do not yet understand what the downsides are. Everything we take to use, we do in detriment of others. The same amount of  energy comes to this planet from the sun every day. Most of it is radiated outside via heat, reflected light and some is stored underground. Right now, burning fossil fuel we're using that extra energy that was stored underground for millions of years, we're putting that energy back in the system and it affects how energy goes out of the system. Less ice to reflect what comes from the sun, more CO2 that traps heat from the sun instead of reflecting it back to space, etc. However, even if we switch to renewable energy, we will still generate heat. An electric car, the battery still heats up. The air conditioner, the outside unit generates more heat than the cold it makes. Even LED lights heat up. This heat has to go somewhere. Sure, the hotter the earth is, the more heat it releases to space but it boils us in the process. We need to remove heat from the system more efficiently. The more we capture from the sun, we convert into heat and keep it on earth, the worse we're going to be. In the end energy consumption, transforming sun's rays into heat that is slower to leave the planetary system, the hotter it will get, slower than putting the energy stored in fossil fuels back into the system but still.
