Solar Cheaper than Grid in China

As the price of clean energy technology plummets and China’s electricity demands rapidly rise,
investing in renewables is becoming more appealing. ,,

thanks to a combination of technological advances and support from the government, “grid parity”
has already been reached.

I dont think anyone is in a position to predict what the nature of power generation will be in the future. What we can say for certainty is that those that voted for trump because he said he would bring coal back are morons.

what is truely moronic is setting up unrealistic expectations such as the New Green Deal,
over carbon emissions/

We should be planting trees like Africa's Green Wall, moving to nuclear if you really think that's better for the planet then LNG, as well as encouraging renewable.

Oh and we need to stop killing the oceans - the biggest carbon sink of all

That's what we should be doing. But morons opt for impossibilities like New Green Deal

given the russian experience with nuclear I am skeptical of nuclear

what is problematic with the green deal

great info. China is going to have disposal problems

There are some very nasty and toxic chemicals in solar panels including cadmium telluride, copper indium selenide, cadmium gallium (di)selenide, copper indium gallium (di)selenide, hexafluoroethane, lead, and polyvinyl fluoride. Additionally, silicon tetrachloride, a byproduct of producing crystalline silicon, is highly toxic.

good grief. Chernobyl engineering was the problem.
From what I know France relies a lot on nukes -it;s doable green

Chernobyl was a first generation nuclear reactor, it didn't even have a containment vessel ffs. Even so that kind of accident would be impossible with 3rd gen. technology like the AP1000 or 4th gen. molten salt reactors.

How did the Chernobyl explosion happen?

On April 26th, 1986, at 1:23am, Chernobyl’s engineers disabled some of the reactor’s safety features while it was still running—as part of a safety test. A combination of human error and design flaws lead to a fire and then an explosion that blew the lid off of reactor Number 4, exposing the nuclear core and releasing into the atmosphere 400 times more radiation than was emitted when American forces dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima during World War II.
