How we get off fossil fuels looks very roughly like this:
- Generate electricity without burning stuff (wind, solar, geothermal, storage, and maybe nuclear if it’s cheap enough)
- Electrify everything we can (electric vehicles, elecrified mass transit, ebikes, heat pumps for home and district heat, nitrate fertilizer manufacturing, etc)
- Stop doing the things we can’t (a few industrial processes)
In contrast, Trump is betting on oil. This might cause the US to fall technologically behind in the development of green energy.
isnt that what australia did, bet on coal/oil, and they kinda are in trouble.
