Can improving the efficiency by which we use energy address climate change in time? Energy density is key to rapid deployment of new energy production solutions.

Global warming can be addressed most effectively by clean energy priced cheaper than coal. Anything else is an uphill battle.

    Get your facts straight, most of current petroleum derivatives used in the chemical industry, from plastics to solvents, can be synthesized from other primary carbon sources than crude oil, they just are highly energy demanding and therefore it is not economically viable to do such thing. With an abundant and cheap source of energy from molten salt reactors, such processes could be operational and economically viable.

    Complacency, Fear, and Greed... the reasons why useful technologies are not allowed to be fully developed to supplant the antiquated technologies used today.

    You want to talk about "child philosophy"..

    Philosophical semantics to run away from real problems, I guess this is what grown up children do these days.

    Our significance is what we make of it. To the universe, we are woefully insignificant. To ourselves, we are the most significant things that exist. So why is it that our imminent destruction seems so unimportant to you?

    Or maybe you really are under the illusion that you're invincible? Your ancestors are laughing at you.

    Everything in the universe has it's objective from subatomic particles to universes. It's in the software. Do me a favor. Look in the mirror & ask yourself the same question. See if you answer yourself. If you don't, Maybe you don't really know the answer. If you do answer yourself, you'll know who's stupid & who's not

    Thanks

    So you think the entire universe is the cause of global warming? Am I getting this right?

    Are you fucking stupid or something?

    Humans happened in what they call the "sweet spot". It was a raging planet / solar system / galaxy / universe before us, as it will be after us.

    It's just nature doing her thing....

    It doesn't even matter if it is our fault or not. The past few years of extreme weather are not normal, and have been quite destructive. This year, the US had yet another killer series of droughts and major fires followed by a huge tsunami. Australia has suffered a complete week of ridiculous record-high temperatures, with some places reaching above 50 degrees celcius.

    Who cares if it's our fault or not. If we don't fix this, it will kill us.

    I can't believe they're using global warming to promote clean energy. Human cause of global warming is false. We contribute around 3%. If a volcano erupts such as Mt. Saint Helen, it spews more chemicals & co2 into the atmousphere than all of man kind put together.

    LETS DO THIS FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL OF MAN KIND Not just the silver spoon born securities.

    You know, if i had the money i would get one built regardless as to how the coal, nuclear and other power industries felt about it... just to get it done (since people seem more willing to believe tangible evidence as opposed to theoreticals.)

    I did not propose depopulation. It is a so Agenda 21 adopted in 1992 by the UN "to save the environment". Depopulation is now going by GMO food, vaccination, fluoridization of drinking water, using such drugs like Prozac, etc. So, it goes gently and invisible for most of people. As for me, I just try to escape from it, like to grow own food, to drink rain water, do farming. I moved to Thailand and here, in the middle of nowhere, there is a good place to be closer to Nature and away of Agenda21.
