In reply to the discussion: The Answer to Climate Change Is Renewable Energy, Not Nuclear Power [View all]GliderGuider
(21,088 posts)38. The picture isn't much better when "energy" is restricted to electricity

Which of course ignores all the carbon from transportation, space heating, cement manufacture, land-use changes etc.
Sorry, kristopher, your renewable god is a figment of your faith.

Yeah. Apparently. That's why we've had cheering for this rich boy's fantasy for 60 years...

Judging by that off point answer you don't seem to know what primary energy is

That's why the last one wasn't in terms of primary energy, but electricity.
