Clean energy is a far better approach than renewable. That means using coal, oil, gas, nuclear and renewables. When it is a power station coal can be burned with the large majority of the waste material being captured and even recycled for industrial purposes. Obviously certain energy types are dictated by location making some cheaper and easier to manage than others.

@ivancho5854 It is far easier technologically to do carbon and waste scrubbing at coal energy plants than it is to build out a complete renewable system. i am not that worried about climate change but what does bother me is local and regional pollution that will work its way into local soil, food supplies, air quality and so on.

@ivancho5854 If the west got all that money it puts into renewables and used it to develop industry for solutions to fit existing plants they could massively lower carbon emissions world wide. At first it would not be a drastic cut but over decades it would have a significant impact. The truth is they are just not that interested in lowering carbon and are using it for political power in the west.
