No legion item is itemized that poorly lol Edit I ' m referinng to m items , ofc there are tons of other shit . <| sep |> Tell me where you even consider that all of these things can currently or soon be done with electric , nonpetroleumbased energy . Google has considered all those things . from their studyThose calculations cast our work at Google ' s REC program in a sobering new light . Suppose for a moment that it had achieved the most extraordinary success possible , and that we had found cheap renewable energy technologies that could gradually replace all the world ' s coal plants a situation roughly equivalent to the energy innovation study ' s bestcase scenario . Even if that dream had come to pass , it still wouldn ' t have solved climate change . This realization was frankly shocking Not only had REC failed to reach its goal of creating energy cheaper than coal , but that goal had not been ambitious enough to reverse climate change . The problem is that when faced with the harsh reality that their current way of life is not sustainable , people from 1 st world nations go into denial , thinking that there is some easy Elon Musk solution right around the corner that does not require big lifestyle changes . Which brings back to my point that serious and meaningful measure to curb emissions is not politically acceptable in developed nations .
